Twin Cities Code Camp

Grails is an advanced and innovative open source web application platform that delivers new levels of developer productivity by applying principles like Convention over Configuration. Grails naturally complements Java application development since it is built on Spring and based on Groovy, a dynamic language for the Java platform. This session will start with a brief overview of the exciting Grails web application framework. Topics covered include the structure of a Grails application, data querying and persistence, validation, controllers, Groovy Server Pages (GSPs) and tag libraries. The second part of the session will be a hands-on demonstration, showing the agility and speed of development that the Grails framework is known for.
