The Quest for the Holy Grails

This presentation is designed to give users an introduction to what Grails has to offer. The presentation will show how fast one can get up and running with Grails.

For the last decade we have been trying to get web application development performed faster and faster. Struts was the first Java web application that had wide spread adoption to start to get web application development faster. Of course years later we realized it was still quite slow. Along the way came items like Spring, Hibernate, Ruby on Rails, and finally Groovy. All of these pieces together, and quite a bit of hard work from many people helped to bring together into the framework we know as Grails.

This presentation will show how one can create a web application that meets all your needs much faster and more agile than before with Grails. We will cover the basics of starting from scratch, creating your models, views, and domains to have a fully built application in the end.
