Getting Started with Grails

Getting Started with Grails

ThirstyHead is proud to announce the publication of Getting Started with Grails. The book is available for purchase or as a free PDF download.

Grails is a Java- and Groovy-based web framework that is built for speed. First-time developers are amazed at how quickly you can get a page-centric MVC web site up and running thanks to the scaffolding and convention over configuration that Grails provides. Advanced web developers are often pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to leverage their existing Spring and Hibernate experience.

Getting Started with Grails brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, Tropicana, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?

See Tim Berglund at Epicenter 2010 Conference in Dublin

Tim Berglund has been chatting up the Irish attendees at Epicenter 2010 in Dublin, whether it's live coding an entire Grails presentation, talking about Microformats and the Semantic Web, turning them on to HTML5, or showing them how Groovy + Google App Engine = Gaelyk.

Don't worry, though. He'll be back stateside soon enough. You can catch him next week at UberConf in Denver and across the US on the NFJS tour.

Hear Scott Davis on the Grails Podcast Episode 111

I love chatting with Sven and Glen over at GrailsPodcast.com. Their normally orderly show is thrown into complete chaos every time I show up. This time was no different.

Our conversation was all over the map -- Getting Started with Grails (2nd edition), the Groovy/Grails development work we're doing over at Closely.com, the plaintive wails of a conflicted Apple FanBoy, the future of HTML5, and much more.

You can listen to the podcast now. Enjoy!
