Web frameworks are playing a major role in the creation of today's
most compelling web applications, because they automate many of the
tedious tasks, allowing developers to instead focus on providing
users with creative and powerful features. Java developers have
been particularly fortunate in this area, having been able to take
advantage of Grails, an open source framework that supercharges
productivity when building Java-driven web sites. Grails is based
on Groovy, which is a very popular and growing dynamic scripting
language for Java developers and was inspired by Python, Ruby, and
Smalltalk.
Beginning Groovy and Grails is the first introductory book on
the Groovy language and its primary web framework, Grails.
This book gets you started with Groovy and Grails and culminates
in the example and possible application of some real-world
projects. You follow along with the development of each project,
implementing and running each application while learning new
features along the way. What you'll learn Understand the
fundamentals of the open source, dynamic Groovy scripting language
and the Grails web framework. Capitalize upon Grails' well-defined
framework architecture to build web applications faster than ever
before. Improve your web application with cutting-edge interface
enhancements using Ajax. Use Grails' object-relational mapping
solution, GORM, to manage your data store more effectively than
ever before. Take advantage of Groovy to create reporting services,
implement batch processing, and create alternative client
interfaces. Deploy and upgrade your Grails-driven applications with
expertise and ease. Discover an alternative client in Groovy as
well.
