Java development 2.0 Easy EC2 (and Grails)

Fellow ThirstyHeader Andy Glover has another article out in his Java Development 2.0 series. This one is Easy EC2: Quickly create a CRUD Web application and run it on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. Of course, the "quickly" part of the article is courtesy of Grails. Here is the abstract:

Provisioning an EC2 instance for hosting a Java™ Web application is a snap. In this Java development 2.0 column, you'll quickly build a Web application that leverages Groovy, Spring, and Hibernate (via the Grails framework) and deploy it on an EC2 instance.

ThirstyHead at the Groovy Grails Experience in New Orleans

Andy Glover and Scott Davis are constantly criss-crossing the globe, speaking about Groovy, Grails, and easyb at companies and conferences. So it is rare to see them both in the same place. Not surprisingly, that place is The Groovy/Grails Experience, this week in New Orleans.

Andy is talking about easyb and RESTful web services with Grails. Scott is talking about testing with Groovy, Flex clients for Grails applications, and RESTful web services with Grails. (There must be something interesting about that whole REST + Grails situation, eh?)

Mastering Grails: Mock testing with Grails

In this Mastering Grails installment, Scott Davis shows you how to take advantage of the built-in mocking capabilities of the GrailsUnitTestCase and ControllerUnitTestCase classes included with Grails.

Mastering Grails: Creating a custom plug-in

In this Mastering Grails installment, Scott Davis shows you how to create your own Grails plug-in. Once you see how effortless it is to create a plug-in, you'll understand why more than 250 Grails plug-ins are available now, with new ones being added all the time.
