Everything is coming together for Grails Exchange next month in London… it’s a long way for this Aussie to travel, and I’ve never been to the homeland, but I’m super excited about hanging out with all of you over there.

I’m presenting a session title The Whole Nine Yards which will cover 10 things you can do in 10 minutes that your users will just love. I’ll be taking a bunch of ideas from my prod grails apps, along with a few special sauces that I’m yet to reveal..

One funky little tip will centre around a quick way of dynamically generating those funky little website previews that you see on DZone. Here’s the groovyblogs thumbnail which needs less than 10 lines of groovy (and some nice Java library support :-):

I’ll also be talking about waycool PDF generation, all things RSS, Charts and Graphs, and lots of other fun UI stuff. If you’re around London, make sure you register and come on over.
