Groovy
[SPANISH] 101 Groovy Scripts
@MiguelRuGa and @jagedn have created a wonderful repository of Groovy Scripts. They have already written 30. Those code snippets showcase Groovy's succinctness and power to do scripting and ease everyday tasks.
They have organized them in categories:
- Basic
- Files
- Database
- Network
- Docker
- Excel, Twitter, Reports
- SOAP / REST
- Images / Graphics
- Sheet, Drive, Calendar
- Groovy and Asciidoctor
They should write at least 101 to honor their domain name!

Greach Agenda is out. It looks really promising. It features a workshop day again. Last year, workshop-day was for me my favorite Greach day.
Agenda features top names in the ecosystem; Graeme Rocher ( Grails Project Lead ) and Paul King ( OCI Groovy Project Lead) and a speaker I am looking forward to; Dier König - Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star, and lead author of the “Groovy in Action” book.
Buy your early bird ticket before they run out.

Commit Verbs 101
Interesting post by @danielfeelfine about adding conventions to git commit messages.
If you work in projects with a new employees constantly, or collaborate in projects around the world, is important to keep communication conventions. And even if you work on a project alone, double or with a small team, the conventions are essential too.
Greach agenda is out! I will be giving a workshop and spreading some SQL love. I hope to see many of you at the conference. Better, I hope to see you at the conference and in the Grails training prior Greach. 😉
In this issue, there are some links to Groovy and Grails. I hope they enlighten you and prompt you to visit Madrid before Easter.
