DESCRIPTION

Web apps shouldn't be hard to build, right? The developers of Grails agree.

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.
