The goal of this hands-on tutorial is to get started and get productive with Grails. We’ll do this by jumping right in and building an application, from design to deployment.
Rather than try to learn Grails feature by feature, we’ll let it unfold as we build the application. We’ll begin with a simple application structure that runs right out of the box, then we’ll gradually build our application while building our knowledge of Grails. Bring your laptop and be ready to code.
We will be using Grails 1.3.5 for the exercises.
JavaScript for Grails Developers
By Dave Klein
As Java web developers, most of our work is on the server side. With Grails, that work is much easier and more fun. But what about the client-side? The best-written web app isn't going to do well without a good user experience. And these days, a good user experience means JavaScript. Grails' GSPs and custom tags provide a powerful and easy-to-use framework for including JavaScript in our applications.
n this session we'll see what Grails' built-in JavaScript tags give us, and what we can learn from them. Then we'll look at some tips, techniques and plugins that can help us go even further. Finally, we'll learn how to create our custom GSP JavaScript tags. Our examples will be using Prototype and jQuery, but will apply to most of the major JavaScript libraries.

Grails is a full stack web development framework that enables you to build complete web applications in a fraction of the time and with less code than other frameworks.
In Grails: A Quick-Start Guide, you'll see how to use Grails by iteratively building an unique, working application. By the time we're done, you'll have built and deployed a real, functioning website.
Along the way, we'll learn about domain classes, controllers, and GSP views. We'll see how Grails allows us to use powerful frameworks like Spring and Hibernate without even knowing it.
Using this hands-on, pragmatic approach, we'll explore topics such as AJAX in Grails, custom tags, and plugins. We'll dig into Grails' powerful view technology, Groovy Server Pages, and see how we can easily leverage the help given to us by scaffolding to create custom user interfaces faster than you would have thought possible.
With Grails, you can get a lot done with little effort. With this book, you'll get a lot done as well. It's time to bring the fun back into web programming. Get started with Grails today.
