BCS Sussex 12th Mar: Build a Web Booking Program in an Hour with Grails
and Java
Dr Peter Lappo, Bear Stearns International, Canary Wharf.

Convention over configuration is the principal behind Grails and its
Ruby equivalent Rails which enable web applications to be built quickly
and easily. This session will attempt to build an on-line conference
booking application in an hour. It is inspired by the Sussex Branch’s
need to have a booking application for our 50th Anniversary of the BCS
conference.

Grails is a framework that relies on programming conventions to achieve
its aim of quick and easy web development thus reducing the need for
much “glue” code or configuration files. Grails is written in the Groovy
scripting language which in turn runs on a Java Virtual Machine and is a
compiled scripting language for efficiency. Groovy can utilise the full
power of the Java platform by easily integrating a large number of Java
libraries.

Peter Lappo is a director of Bear Stearns an investment bank.
