Ryan Vanderwerf, a member of the OCI Grails team, will be leading a discussion and demonstration called "Alexa, Tell Me I'm Groovy."
The Amazon Echo is more than a home toy – you can have the real Star Trek experience in your home with hooks into home automation platforms, streaming music, news, help you cook, tell you jokes, etc. Now, let’s Groovy all the things and make a Grails app that can host new Alexa skills! Ryan Vanderwerf, a member of the OCI Grails team, will go over how to create Grails apps in two ways, via Grails 3 and web services and also via AWS Lamba. You can use Groovy for both of these approaches! Ryan will have a couple Alexa-capable devices to demonstrate some fun things you can do with it. If you don’t already have one, you’ll be hacking away as soon as you get home!
Be sure to arrive early to network and enjoy sandwiches and beverages!
