Grails in Action by Glen Smith

DESCRIPTION Web apps shouldn't be hard to build, right? The developers of Grails agree. This hyper-productive open-source web framework offers "code by convention", leaving developers to focus on what makes their app special. Through its use of Groovy, it gives a powerful, Java-like language and full access to all Java libraries.   Grails in Action is a comprehensive guide to the Grails framework. First, it covers the basics: the domain model, controllers, views, and services. Then, the fun! It dives into a Twitter-style app with features like AJAX/JSON, animation, search, wizards—even messaging and Jabber integration. It also offers loads of great plugins that'll make apps shine.     RETAIL SELLING POINTS Fast track to super productivity Covers Grails 2.1 from the ground up Tons of tips and tricks from the trenches   AUDIENCE No Java or Groovy background is required, but it is helpful for readers to have a background in web development and knowledge of an object-oriented language.   ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Grails is an open source web application framework which uses the Groovy programming language. This hyper-productive open-source web framework lets developers "code by convention", leaving them to focus on what makes their apps special.
