		<title>Guys&#8217;n&#039;girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are a real developer you most likely have already been in a situation, where a group was welcomed with the phrase hey guys &#8211; on IRC, mailing lists or even in personal talk. Some of you might share the experience to not feel being addressed by this salutation. This situations leave me personally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Grails (now) worth it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This question was raised and discussed at stackoverflow recently. Having used Grails for the sixbee project I shared our experiences compared to standard J2EE application development, especially to the subquestion:
Does it really confer rapid development benefits?
Definitely, it does. Even if the scaffolding path is left early and conventions are overriden to the own needs, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>We don&#8217;t read resumes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Neither does 37signals: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20100601/never-read-another-resume.html
The code candidates send us is much more interesting than the typical alphabet soup project listings you normally find in developer resumes (&#8220;worked on XML/SOAP/J2EE/AOP project using Oracle, IntelliJ, Java 1.6 and Rational Rose&#8221;)
Typically we can tell just from the code if we want to hire somebody. The interview is typically to [...]]]></description>

Do you love to be surrounded by as much and good as possible technical equipment or do you prefer to sit in a group of at least three peers discussing a detail no matter how small the screen is? And what do you like about your favourite setting? In our team both work modes [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Scrumban&#8221;, by Corey Ladas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last week I not only finally managed to get my beloved reading lamp repaired, of course an Artemide Tolomeo  , but also to utilize the newly provided cozily, brightly, and energy-savingly lit space to finish the book I had started the week before. And because I am excited about it, let me share my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Groovy builders in Grails taglibs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you ever want to use builders in your grails taglib and wondered why the approach mentioned in the grails documentation doesn&#8217;t work at all? Here is what I found out after a lot of trial and error and digging in the MarkupBuilder, BuilderSupport and GroovyPagTagBody sources. Let&#8217;s stick with the example from the documentation [...]]]></description>

		<title>XPath in Selenium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To achieve full test coverage for our new product sixbee, we chose to try out Selenium. It works perfectly fine for simple stuff like clicking on static links with static texts or IDs:



selenium.clickAndWait&#40;&#34;link=Click&#34;&#41; // click on a element labeled &#34;Click&#34;


selenium.clickAndWait&#40;&#34;btn&#34;&#41; // click on element with id &#34;btn&#34;



When it comes to testing components using Ajax, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grails ControllerUnitTest vs. GrailsUnitTest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grails claims that it encourages writing test &#8211; for example, a test class is created every time you create a controller or domain. However, working on my first Grails project I find it quite confusing which kind of test supports what.
For example, we use GreenMail in our testing environment. To check for sent mails, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>SQL Server/Oracle datetime difference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a short article I write because it would have saved me some significant time had I been able to google it (no time-travel google (yet) &#8211; find articles you will write in the future). So maybe somebody in the future will find this useful  .
What we were doing is to use a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tracking pages without IDs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Per default, Google Analytics tracks the whole URL. As a lot of our URLs contain some parameters or IDs, and we&#8217;re not interessted in tracking them, we needed to find a way to truncate them. As Grails unfortunately does not provide methods to access the current view and controller (which is basically what we&#8217;d like [...]]]></description>
