Product Description
Grails is an open-source, rapid web application development
framework that provides a super-productive full-stack programming model
based on the Groovy scripting language and built on top of Spring,
Hibernate, and other standard Java frameworks. Ruby on Rails pioneered
the innovative coupling of a powerful programming language and an
opinionated framework that favors sensible defaults over complex
configuration, but many organizations aren't yet ready to stray from
the safety of Java or forgo their current Java investments. Grails
makes it possible to achieve equivalent productivity in a Java-centric
environment. Over the course of this book, the reader will explore the
various aspects of Grails and also experience Grails by building a
Grails app.
