From Skills Matter: Free Session: In-the-Brain of Graeme Rocher: Grails: Spring + Hibernate development re-invented, April 19th…
Since its emergence in the summer of 2005 the rapid web application framework, Grails, has been gradually gathering steam. Built on the Groovy language, Grails provides a new, simpler point of entry for developers approaching the Java platform with all its complexity and acronyms. However, Grails is not just for newcomers as for the first time Java developers now
have a fully integrated, enterprise-reading scripting platform they can call on. Built-on industry favourites like Spring & Hibernate, this session details how to get the best out of Grails by utilizing a blended approach and mixing static and dynamic typing thanks to Groovy’s tight integration with the Java platform.Graeme Rocher, father of Grails and author of The Definitive Guide to Grails will demonstrate the different Object-Relational mapping (ORM) strategies that Grails supports out of the box thanks to its support for Hibernate. In addition, the session will cover how Spring is made simpler thanks to domain specific language (DSL) for scripting Spring.
