A whole Spring application in a tweet

Code Examples 1 Minute 
@RestController
class HelloWorld {

@RequestMapping("/")
def hi(){
return "hello"
}
}

Automatically creates an embedded Tomcat web-server and uses Spring MVC when run on a command line:

spring run application.groovy

localhost:8080 gives:

hello

*mind blown*

I have been a software developer since 2004 and have worked in many different languages. I started off using scripting languages on the web and transitioned into Enterprise Java development. I have worked as a Team Leader and independent contractor in this capacity. I then decided to take a break, before changing direction to create apps for mobile devices. I changed languages and focused more on the business and design side of things for a while. However, I'm getting pretty jaded by the new and shiny, so I am going back to what I know best and retraining in all the new Java ways and really enjoying the process. My Java 8 certification was the start, this blog will tell the rest of the story.
