This Groovy and Grails class is delivered for private groups onsite at your offices or a location of your choice. It can also be delivered via the Internet for geographically distributed staff.
Grails is an open-source web application framework that's all about getting things done. Grails combines best-of-breed Java technologies (including Hibernate and Spring), convention over configuration, and the powerful and dynamic Groovy language.Through a series of hands-on lab exercises, you will learn first-hand how to use Grails to build a fully-functioning and flexible web application in minimal time. As we develop the application, we'll explore the Grails project structure, its MVC elements, and the power of dynamic methods. We'll see how Groovy's highly-expressive nature allows us to write concise code, and Grails' use of sensible defaults (e.g, convention over configuration) saves us from much of the coding and configuration we'd otherwise face with many traditional frameworks.
Experience in the following areas is required:
In addition to a comprehensive set of materials, including course notes and all the programming examples, each student will receive a copy of The Definitive Guide to Grails by Graeme Rocher .
Each student will also receive a one-year subscription to Webucator's online reference library, which contains hundreds of the most current electronic technology books - a $149.95 per student value.
The class files for this course are included on a DVD provided by the instructor.
