Digitization in the Library The Library has been digitizing its collection since 1995 with the first NEH grant for California Heritage Digital Image Access Project.

Equipment includes flatbed scanners, digital cameras, a document feed scanner, and book scanners. Projects include scanning, technical metadata collection, image processing, and user access. We will cover an overview of the technology and the interesting projects and lessons learned. |

Advantages of Groovy and Grails Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities. It runs on the Java platform (JVM) and is in many ways a superset of Java. The learning curve for the average Java coder is described as a "small speed bump" while the powers are described as "Java on Steroids." Grails is a web-framework built on the "shoulders of giants". It acts as an easy, yet powerful layer on top of Spring MVC, Hibernate and Sitemesh. It aims at developer speed by applying "convention over configuration," sensible defaults and easy access to common functionality. It integrates easily with application containers (like Tomcat) on the JVM. Grails has a lively plugin community, where a wide variety of common functionality is captured. Previous knowledge of Java, C, C++, PHP, Python or other programming languages is an advantage. |
