  1. New blog post: "Unit Testing File Upload in Grails" - http://bit.ly/lXmlGH
  2. Made some simple Grails unit tests for a file upload service. The options for mocking in Groovy make it fairly simple.
  3. Just added #Groovy In Action 2nd Edition to the bookshelf! MEAP is what tech publishers should be copying. Thx, Manning!
  4. It sure is nice to test quick java snippets in the #Groovy console.
  5. One of my favorite features in #Grails? Taking the pain out of custom taglibs!
  6. New Blog Post: http://bit.ly/hayFxw Multi-step Ajax forms in #Grails
  7. Free book on developing iOS webapps via O'Reilly's OFPS. http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9780596805784/
  8. Nice article on Mobile Notifications: http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/03/mobile-notifications.html (via @timbray)
  9. RIM, why do you hate developers? Also, how did you base your technology off Java and still manage to be platform dependent?
  10. Just received my first out-of-PermGenSpace exception in #Grails. I see Java sneaking back in.
  11. Oh, CSS3 flex box model, why has it taken so long for CSS to adopt you? Other technologies have used your layout system for ages.
  12. [Tech Crunch] Amazon’s Disruptive Android App Store Now Open To Developers - http://tcrn.ch/fNKM53
  13. New blog post: Auto-wiring the SessionFactory into an abstract Spring HibernateDaoSupport subclass. http://bit.ly/aAb6Qp
  14. My first impressions of Spring 3.0's REST support is very nice!
  15. Come on, Oracle. Can you get those cross-platform guys you bought with Sun to port Oracle 10g XE to Mac please?
  16. New blog post: Forward declaring C++ classes in Objective-C. http://bit.ly/bI2BOj
  17. Geez.. StackOverflow is addictive. At least I'm wasting time in an educational effort.
  18. Wish I had this a few months ago! RT @AndroidDev: From our own @romannurik, Introducing Android UI Utilities: http://goo.gl/nHov
  19. Changed the look-and-feel of the site. I will be adding some pages with background info on me and the types of consulting I do soon.
  20. New blog post: Backwards compatibility in Android http://bit.ly/8XVX9Q
