Last friday Profict organized a java summer camp. This was the first time that I went there and the first thing that you would notice about the office of Profict is that it doesn’t look like a working environment at all: the office is in fact a beautifully situated castle.

The topic of this summer camp was one that interests me: dynamic languages for the JVM. In the first session Charles Nutter talked about (J)Ruby and Rails and after that it was Graeme Rocher’s turn to talk about Groovy and Grails.

Both Rails and Grails are interesting web frameworks that take the “convention over configuration” principle to heart and drastically increase productivity compared to standard java web frameworks. If you are a Ruby developer I cannot imagine that you haven’t heard about Rails before, but for Java developers that don’t know Groovy and Grails yet: check them out!
