SUMMARY:
There has always been a struggle to find the balance between ease of use and flexibility. Some tools allow you to quickly and easily build web sites as long as you do everything their way. Others give you enough rope to hang yourself and even help you do it. Somewhere there must exist a web application framework that is both easy to use and powerful.
Grails is just that and more. Grails allows you to use powerful and established tools such as Spring, Hibernate, SiteMesh and Prototype without even knowing that you're using them. You can create a complete CRUD application, literally, in minutes. Then when you need to do more the power of the underlying tools is right at your fingertips.
In this presentation we will cover the installation and setup of Grails (don't blink, you might miss it) then we'll build a fully functional web application from design to deployment.
