Blog for Groovy Magazine

GroovyMag is now selling annual subscriptions! Never miss another GroovyMag! When purchasing from this page, you will see an option for a yearly subscription. You may start your subscription with the current month, or backdate your subscription to pick up earlier issues you may have missed.

Just released the January 2009 GroovyMag - our largest yet!

We're at 40 pages now, with some great articles from Andres Almiray, Ted Naleid, Brian Doyle and Dave Klein.

In addition to that, we've got an interview with the Project Zero team from IBM about WebSphere sMash (full stack web framework using Groovy, PHP and Java) and an excerpt from then upcoming "Grails In Action" book from Glen Smith and Peter Ledbrook.

Not been blogging much lately, but that doesn't mean we've not been busy!

As often happens this time of year, people tend to slow down from their regular activities, and in the case of GroovyMag, that meant a slowing down of posting here. We'll try to get back on a more regular schedule soon.

We've been putting together the January issue, which is almost complete, and are now trying to determine when it will go on sale. If it's complete by January 1, then it will likely be available then. However, due to the holiday schedule at that time, the January GroovyMag might not be available until the following Monday. We'll do our best to get it to you on January 1 and keep your January as Groovy as possible :)

I've just added a bit more functionality to the GroovyMag profile/account page. This page will now let you indicate your technical interests as well as what you're using day to day.

I added this so that we can get a better idea of readership, and what sorts of articles might make sense to publish in future editions. I'll be adding more places in this area to help round out your profile in the coming weeks.

Please take a few moments to log in and visit your account page to update your interest information. It'll help us give you more of what you want!

I've seen similar lists in other technologies, but have not seen a list for Groovy and Grails people. If one exists, let me know and I'll link to it. If there's someone on this list we should know about, let me know too, or add that person yourself in the comments below.
