Hi Dierk
It's nice to read from you again ;)
We use Groovy quite a lot in my current project and your book is used on a daily base! Thanks!
I'm looking forward to more posts soon...
Kind regards,

Groovy in Action #3 top seller at JavaOne 2008
12:06 PM PDT, May 8, 2008
JavaOne is a really great conference: some many great people, talks, and discussions about innovation and latests Trends.
JavaOne also has it's own bookstore, the "digitalGuru". On Wednesday, the second official conference day, they published the top sellers so far and guess what: Groovy in Action has finished #3 ! The only sad side of the story is that digitalGuru didn't order enough copies in advance, so they ran out of GINA copies by Wednesday noon. They take orders, though... It is certainly great that they have sold all their copies but they could have given so many more attendees the chance to buy a book with 20% discount on site. Also, since no more copies can be sold, GINA will certainly drop in the top seller list at the end of the conference. The really good news is that people show so much interest in Groovy and you hear on the floor that Groovy is now considered the "default choice for dynamic programming on the Java platform". Now I'm off to prepare the talk that Sun has chosen to present a second time because it has been so successful on Wednesday: "Going mobile with JavaFX, Groovy, and Google Android". The repeating session is scheduled for Friday, 1.30 pm in room E 302. Exciting times --Dierk
