The Definitive Guide to Grails

Grails forms just one framework that is driving the movement toward dynamic language–based
frameworks. In this sense, anyone who is interested in the dynamic language field, whether you
are from a Perl, Ruby, or Python background, would gain something from reading this book, if
just to acquire insight into what the alternatives are.
If platform is not a choice, and Java is the way your project is going, Grails can provide
features like no other framework. In this circumstance, Grails may have the answers you are
looking for. Primarily, however, this book will provide the most benefit to those who know and
love the Java platform, those who see the Java language for all of its strong points but want
something better as a web framework.
Grails is providing the answers to the long search for something better in the Java world by
presenting a framework that solves the common problems in an unobtrusive, elegant manner.
This is not to say the subject matter within this book is trivial.
