For those who are not aware, GroovyMag is a monthly magazine that contains various articles about Groovy, Grails and related technologies (Grails Plugins, Griffon, Scala, etc). The magazine is published and downloaded as a ZIP file that contains the main magazine in PDF format, together with source-code to accompany relevant articles.
Recent articles that I have found particularly useful and/or interesting include:
- Building a Grails portal (Volume 2 - Issues 8, 10, 12)
- Goldilocks and Grails Logging (Volume 2 - Issues 7, 8)
- Enterprise Development with Groovy & Grails (Volume 2, Issue 11)
Both my team and I use Groovy and Grails on a daily basis and have had many successes to date. However, working with emerging technologies is not without its frustrations, with Grails in particular giving us many headaches.
One of the biggest challenges when working with any new technology is finding accurate and up-to-date documentation - this is steadily improving and I thoroughly recommend both Groovy in Action and Grails in Action, which have effectively become our bibles. However, this is where blogs and online forums can prove invaluable and is why I have tried to contribute.
I must confessed to not having had the time to post many articles recently, but will certainly start doing so shortly - watch this space!
Oh dear, it's almost April dude - maybe GroovyMag can revoke your blogger badge? =)
