Shortly after SpringSource’s November 2008 acquisition of G2One, I had the pleasure of chatting with both Rod Johnson and Graeme Rocher– both gents are always interesting to chat with as they each possess a deep understanding of technology and its applicability with business. In this JavaWorld podcast, Rod (who I also chatted with in a previous podcast regarding Spring’s dm Server) and Graeme discuss what the acquisition means for Groovy, Grails, and Spring-based developers. Learn what motivated the companies to come together, what you don’t need to fear about the merger, and what developers can expect from Groovy and Grails, now that they’re backed by the entity behind Spring.Want to learn more about Groovy and Grails?
