Going Further with Grails
Grails provides a tremendous jump-start to any web application. With easy scaffolding and zero-configuration ORM, you're up and running in no time. But what's needed to effectively move from a vanilla Grails project to a fully-customized application fit for public consumption?
In this session, through live demos we'll explore techniques for quickly securing our application, implementing effective (and DRY) UIs, developing Grails services, extending Grails with plugins, and even integrating with Java when the need arises.
