Rich Internet Applications (RIA)

Scott Davis interviewed Dierk König, Canoo Fellow and Grails/Groovy-Evangelist for Thirsty Head at blip.tv. In the interview, Dierk gives an inside-view about new Grails improvements, about his JavaOne talk, JavaFX and the impact of Canoo Webtest. Enjoy this interesting chat about “beauty and code”!

Kirk Pepperdine interviews Canoo’s Dierk König.

I just updated the Canoo events page and would like to point you to the impressive schedule of events:

Canoo’s CEO, Hans-Dirk Walter is presenting a one-day course on Rich Internet Applications at the ETH in Zurich, in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Donald Kossmann and Prof. Dr. Gustavo Alonso this Friday.

Dierk König will be speaking in Denmark, the USA, Switzerland, Sweden and Germany in the next couple of months on Groovy, Grails and WebTest topics.

Bruno Schäffer is presenting at SD West 08 in Santa Clara, California on “Design Patterns for Rich Internet Applications”.

And we will be exhibiting at this year’s JavaOne in San Francisco from May 6 to May 9.

A couple of weeks ago, Marc Guillemot published a blog post comparing Canoo’s WebTest and Selenium.

He has also published links to two WebTest screencasts, which I would like to highlight today.

Dierk will be speaking at:

• iX Workshop in Zurich, Munich and Frankfurt.

If you’re attending any of these events, stop by and say hello to Dierk…

He recently wrote a series of articles on Grails for iX magazine (in German).
