New issue of GroovyMag

3 04 2009

April’s issue of GroovyMag has finally been released, and I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that my article “Get Rich Quick with Flex & Grails” was to be the feature article for this issue. Please help support this very awesome magazine and purchase a copy of April’s issue here (http://www.groovymag.com/main.issues.description/id=8/).gm6_400





GroovyMag article finished

13 03 2009

Earlier this year at CodeMash, my co-author BJ had lunch with the editor of GroovyMag, Michael Kimsal, and discussed writing an article for his magazine, unbeknownst to me.  Ironically at the same time I had been scheming and sending emails to Michael as well pitching the idea for an article on integrating Flex with Grails.  Long story short we landed a 2 part article for the upcoming April and May issues of GroovyMag.

If you’ve never heard of GroovyMag, I strongly encourage you to check it out.  It’s a very reasonably priced magazine for Groovy and Grails developers available as a PDF for the low price of $5 per issue.  Considering there are almost no advertisements and each issue is packed with great content from authors such as Chris Judd, and of course now yours truly.

Last week I kept getting emails from all of the guys I ride with saying, “Loved the article in CX”.  Turns out that an article that I wrote last fall about the Ubeercross ride from Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo, MI to Founder’s Brewery in Grand Rapids, MI, did end up making it into issue #2 of CX Magazine.  I’m hoping to see a few copies of it with my own two eyes real soon, as the cool cats at CX Magazine have agreed to send a few free copies my way.

If you haven’t checked the magazine out yet, you really should.  It’s a great way to get a little cross love in the off season for cross addicts such as myself.  We can’t all be as lucky as the folks out in Colorado who have a the Cult Cross series that runs all the way through the spring.  For me, I’ll just have to enjoy reading about cross, while I wait for the next Kisscross season to start up again and this years Ubeercross.
