Release Notes<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
Groovy and Grails give you the power of the Java platform together with the <br />
flexibility and dynamism of a scripting language. Pick one of the many example <br />
projects in this book: at first you'll scratch your head and ask, "where's all <br />
the code?" Then you'll smile as you realize that Groovy allows you to write code <br />
the way you always thought you should. You will never look at Java the same way <br />
again.<br />
<br />
"Groovy Recipes" is targeted at the busy Java professional who needs quick <br />
solutions to everyday problems. Each recipe shows a concise code example right <br />
away. If you need more information, each recipe is explained in plain English.<br />
<br />
Nearly every aspect of the development process can be sped up using Groovy. <br />
Groovy makes mundane file management tasks like copying and renaming files <br />
trivial. Reading and writing XML has never been easier with XmlParsers and <br />
XmlBuilders. JDBC gets a fresh makeover. Breathe new life into Arrays, Maps, and <br />
Lists with a number of convenience methods. Even Ant gets turbo-charged. You can <br />
mix Groovy right into your build.xml, or replace it completely with code from an <br />
AntBuilder.<br />
<br />
As an added bonus, this book also covers Grails. You'll be amazed at how quickly <br />
you can have a first-class web application up and running from ground zero. <br />
Grails includes everything you need in a single zip file, a web server (Jetty), <br />
a database (HSQLDB), Spring, Hibernate, Sitemesh, even Ant. If you're looking <br />
for Ajax support, Grails ships with leading libraries like Prototype, <br />
script.aculo.us, Yahoo UI, and Dojo. We cover everything from getting a basic <br />
application up and running to advanced features such as deploying to other <br />
webservers and databases, adding a Captcha,integrating with legacy EJB <br />
applications, and even adding a Google Map. <br />
