This month's meetup was some time in the making! The cast of Illegal Argument (http://www.illegalargument.com) will bring you a multi-solution how to around a single theme - Presentations and Votes.
First up, we have a REST only web service written in Groovy/Grails from Richard Vowles of Blue Train Software Ltd (http://www.bluetrainsoftware.com). The solution is deployed on the GAE, so we show you the basics of creating the application, setup, development/testing (BDD) and deployment. 45 mins.
Second up, we have Wicket interface to the backend, written in Scala, from Antony Stubbs of SharcaConsulting (http://www.sharca.com). We will show you the basics of Wicket (components, models (binding) etc), how to use Wicket Ajax and the basics of the Scala language. 45 mins.
Thirdly we have an Apache Pivot interface (written in Java and/or Clojure), in this section we will introduce you to the Pivot RIA platform, its declarative UI and component model, and the benefits of separating UI concerns from implementaions (switching out Java for Clojure, Scala, or any other JVM language of your choice). 45 mins.
Finally, take it mobile with Android and JavaFX Mobile and Greg will sing and dance and bring Whisky for everyone. Well, until he gives me his description. 45 mins.
If you want to see more detail in a presentation during each presentation, one of the four will take a note of your presentation suggestion and it will be put into the repository. You will then be able to vote for it for a subsequent JUG or create your own client and vote for it/show your client off.
