At Christmas, instead on sending you a collection of curated links about the groovy ecosystem, I tend to do something a little bit different. Last year, I sent a collection of the software which I normally use and love in my daily routine.
This year, I have prepared a collection of links to Groovy Grails Video courses. Any of these will be a great present for yourself or for your groovy colleagues.
