• Seven Things You'll Love About Grails

  by Tim Berglund

  If you’re building web apps for the JVM, there’s one thing you’re not missing: choices.

  In the bewildering array of Java and JVM frameworks, Grails is emerging as a standard choice in environments ranging from startups to the enterprise. It’s a full-stack solution build on rock-solid components, fully relying on convention over configuration, and using the best application language the JVM has yet seen: Groovy. This is the place to be for web apps on the JVM.

  In this talk, we’ll get a whirlwind introduction to Grails, visiting seven things you need to know about the framework to get started:

  • Creating an app
  • Development using the Tomcat server
  • Interacting with the database
  • Building your UI
  • Processing web requests
  • Tapping the huge plugin community
  • Deploying to production

  • Grails
  • Groovy
  • JVM
  • Web
  • Web Frameworks

  At 1:30pm to 2:30pm, Monday 25th July

  In A105, Oregon Convention Center
