Grails: Open Source Framework with Documentation
With all the talk about Grails I figured it was time to start learning this “Next Generation” framework. Usually when I get started with using a new framework, I see if they have a Quick Start tutorial to help me get started. Low and behold Grails has a very nice, and very quick tutorial that will get you started with the basics.
Now that I have the basics down, I am off to trying some of the more advanced tasks. This is usually where I have to go out, find some books to read, and do some studding. I usually resort to reading some well written books, because they usually provide good consolidated information that complements the frameworks online references quite well. I found that since Grails is relatively new to the community that there are not many books available yet.
Well to my surprise Grails Online Documentation is very well written. I seems to me that the document provides you with all the knowledge and examples that you would need to get up and running quickly. I am so impressed with the Online Documentation with the Grails Framework, that I don’t think there will be a need to go out and purchase a book to become proficient with there framework. Everything seems to be just handed to me, in a nice package, wrapped up with a bow.
For a Open Source Framework I would like to applaud there documentation effort. I have not found any of it hard to understand, it is easy to follow, and easy to reference. Thanks Grails.
