O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
Summary
Well, this was a productive iteration. We implemented our task-related features, and along the way, we learned about Grails service classes, integration testing, and what it takes to modify or extend a Grails domain class after we’ve generated the code. Take a break. You deserve it! Catch up on some blogs (http://groovyblogs.org would be a good choice) or email. Next we will work on adding a message forum and see what we can learn while we’re at it.
