Building Headless Servers with Grails 2

Whether you're building a shiny new web front-end with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, or you're working on the next killer mobile app, you're more than likely going to need some back-end services to make to turn the pretty into the useful. Grails 2 makes it easier than ever to quickly build back-end servers to handle the data and computational needs of mobile and web applications.

In this session we will create a Grails application that provides a clean and easy to use service API that can be consumed by any number of client applications. In fact, we can support both mobile and web applications with the same back-end app written in Grails.
