For over 10 years Jeff Brown has been involved in designing and building object oriented systems, and is a member of the core Groovy and Grails development teams. At AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East in New York City later this month he will be explaining how Grails delivers the power and flexibility of "coding by convention" to the Java platform.

"Building rich interactive AJAX enabled applications with Grails could not be easier," contends Brown. "Grails ships with Prototype support right out of the box and through its powerful plugin system Grails provides support for other toolkits including Dojo, Yahoo! UI and others," he adds.

In his session, through lecture and live demonstration he will quickly introduce the Grails platform and then jump right in to the powerful AJAX capabilities that Grails provides.

"The session will cover custom tag libraries, remote forms, rich client side updates and other features of the framework that make building AJAX enabled applications fun and easy," says Brown.

His session is just of the 90+ sessions, presentations, discussion panels, and keynotes that together make up the 3-day conference program of this month's 5th International AJAXWorld.

The March event features six content-rich tracks:
