Web frameworks are playing a major role in the creation of today's
most compelling web applications because they automate many of the
tedious tasks, allowing developers to instead focus on providing users
with creative and powerful features. Java developers have been
particularly fortunate in this area, having been able to take
advantage of Grails, an open source framework that supercharges
productivity when building Java-driven web sites.

Practical Grails Projects is the first book to introduce this popular
framework by way of a series of real-world projects. Readers follow
along with the development of each project, implementing and running
each application while learning new features along the way. Readers
are also introduced to Groovy, the scripting language for Java
developers inspired by Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.
What you'll learn

* Capitalize upon Grails' well-defined framework architecture to
build web applications faster than ever before.
* Enhance your web application with cutting-edge interface
enhancements using Ajax.
* Use Grails's object-relational mapping solution (GORM) to manage
your data store more effectively than ever before.
* Take advantage of Groovy to create reporting services, implement
batch processing, and create alternative client interfaces.
* Deploy and upgrade your Grails-driven applications with
expertise and ease.
