The Definitive Guide to Grails written by Grails founder and lead Graeme Rocher and reviewed by Groovy lead Guillaume LaForge and Dierk Koenig, has published as standard Apress book and eBook.
This authoritative book covers what could very well be the “Holy Grail” of Java Web frameworks, which is based upon the open source lightweight dynamic Java-based Groovy scripting language. And with the recent news around the final release of the now open source Java SE 6, scripting on the JVM should now be a “piece of cake.”
The Grails Framework is essentially “Groovy on Rails”, and will empower your Web applications to be agile, lightweight, and best performing. Grails Web framework is something today’s Java developer can use in their tool chest. The Grails Framework can be used as the Web framework aspect or at least integrated within the broader open source lightweight enterprise Java framework, Spring, as well. And much more.
As editor of this book, I am confident that you will NOT be disappointed in the power of Grails and this book, which should help you fully realize and use Grails to its fullest potential. To purchase this book, find it on Amazon.com or your other favorite bookseller. You can also buy direct. Enjoy!
