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
In this iteration, we added some useful features for event organizers, volunteers, and users at large. Along the way, we learned about the Criteria Builder for involved queries and about the Searchable plugin for full-text search. We also got some more practice using those awesome Grails custom tags. The application is starting to look good and perform all kinds of handy functions. Our customer is anxious to put it to use and is already preparing some ideas for version 1.1.
In the next chapter, we’ll add volunteer registration and do some general refactoring based on feedback from our customer. We’ll try more plugins and test some cool tricks with Grails URL mapping.
