  • Posted on: 29 October 2008
  • By: admin
This session introduces the Grails open-source web application framework. Based on Groovy, Grails aims for “coding by convention” to make development as simple as possible. Grails integrates best of breed APIs from the Java EE sphere including Spring, Hibernate and SiteMesh. Grails brings to Java and Groovy developers the ‘joys’ of rapid development while—importantly—allowing them to leverage their existing knowledge, integrate existing Java-based systems and capitalize on the proven and performant APIs Java developers have been using for years.

For the first time in more than 20 years, credible alternatives to relational databases for enterprise application data storage are emerging. Examples of non-relational databases include the cloud databases (SimpleDB, BigTable, SSDS), column-oriented databases such as Vertica and Michael Stonebraker’s H- Store.

Finally, we’ll examine Oracle’s outlook with regard to these new database types.
