• Grails on Oracle for Java Developers by Tug Grall   - [Clicks: 25]
  The "coding by convention" paradigm that is the driver of Ruby on Rails has been leveraged to develop a new framework: Grails. Grails uses Groovy as the underlying language, so it runs on a JVM and can leverage any existing Java API. If you are a Java developer, you will find it very interesting to use this framework to accelerate the development of Web applications. If you are not yet a Java developer but need to develop and deploy Web applications faster, Grails is also a very good tool.

• The Definitive Guide to Grails  by Graeme Rocher   - [Clicks: 16]
  The Definitive Guide to Grails, by Grails lead Graeme Rocher, is for anyone looking for a more agile approach to web development with a dynamic scripting language such as Groovy. It will show you the new direction web frameworks are taking and specifically how a dynamic scripting language like Groovy can be harnessed on the Java platform for productive Grails development. This book takes you through the Grails development life cycle, including its project infrastructure, screen generation, full automatic object mapping to relational database systems, and a flexible, easy-to-use web layer. This book also demonstrates how Grails complements Java web development. Topics include creating domain classes in the JavaTM platform while still accessing advanced features like dynamic persistent methods, using Grails controllers to call business logic written in the JavaTM specification, and testing your Java application logic using Grails test cases. * The author tackles new issues like writing web applications with dynamic languages, an agile approach, Ajax, and more. * The JavaTM platform has always been about choice, and this book demonstrates how you can use select aspects of Grails that you choose. * The book makes up for the current lack of solid Groovy documentation.
