changed from ruby to groovy
3 years ago
I’ve changed this to ‘learn grails’ which is a groovy (the programming language ‘groovy’) system influenced by Ruby On Rails. The reason for the change is that I am already very experienced in Java and that there are thousands of industrial strength (Java) libraries available to access from groovy.

downloaded, installed and tried my first tutorial. Looks like a very high speed way of getting an app off the ground. The tutorial had a reasonable amount of code in the view pages which is generally a bad idea, but maybe that was just for ease of demonstration. Am now looking for a good reason to use it in anger.
