Grails 3 Workshop
Grails started out as a plugin-centric, Groovy-based framework for building monolithic web applications analogous to Ruby-based Ruby on Rails.
However, Grails has evolved with the web to become a much more flexible framework suitable for building microservices, web service engines for Single-Page Applications, and of course, full blown web application monoliths.
This workshop is a hands-on introduction to the exciting, dynamic world of Grails 3.
In this workshop we'll explore the following topics to reveal and practice the power of Grails to produce web applications and web services.
- A very brief introduction to Groovy
- Grails Setup and Overview
- Controllers & Domain classes
- Web Services
- Easy ORM with GORM
- Groovy Server Pages (GSPs)
- Services & Dependency Injection
- Developing a Grails plugin
