New Grails User

A friend of mine, Ken Rimple, recently turned me onto Groovy on Grails. When I first heard of it, I wasn't interested in learning another something on something language/framework pair. But after a quick spin through the tutorial I was hooked.

The best thing about it is that its all based in Java and deploys as a war on your favorite web server. As a matter of fact it builds upon many of the top Java technologies such as Hibernate, Spring, log4J, JUnit, Jetty, HSQL, Quartz, Sitemesh and ANT.

Now that I have my prototype ready, the devil will be in the details to get it finely polished.
