This one-of-a-kind event is for application developers, solution architects, and project managers who develop business applications with Spring and the technologies Spring integrates with.
I posted this in case you hadn't heard, SpringSource has acquired the company behind Grails and Groovy.
You may wonder "what has this got to do with Python?" Well, I am always interested in tracking what SpringSource is up to, especially in the realm of dynamic languages. This is good news to me, because it shows SpringSource's keen interest in this arena, which is also good for Python.
Greg has worked for 11 years as a software engineer at Harris Corporation, always seeking the right tool for the job. Since 2002, Greg has been part of the senior software team working on Harris' $3.5 billion FAA telco program, architecting mission critical enterprise apps while managing a software team. He provides after hours support and 2nd level engineering and is no stranger to midnight failures and software triage.
Being a test-bitten script junky, Greg has used JUnit, TestNG, JMock, FEST, PyUnit, and pMock testing frameworks, along with other agile practices to produce top quality code.
He has worked with Java/Spring/Acegi Security/@AspectJ/Jython technologies, UNIX/Linux/Solaris platforms, and python/jython/bash/csh/expect scripting. Being a wiki evangelist, he also deployed a LAMP-based wiki web site to provide finger tip knowledge to users.
In 2006, Greg created the Spring Python project. The Spring Framework provided many useful features, and he wanted those same features available when working with Python.
Greg completed a master's degree in Computer Engineering at Auburn University in 1997, and lives in Melbourne, FL with his family.
