Course Summary
The Introduction to Grails training course is designed to demonstrate how to rapidly build web applications using the Grails framework.
The course begins with an exploration of the core components of a Grails application, including connecting to databases and working with models, views, and controllers. It then covers how a Grails application interacts with a database, including the embedded pure-Java Hyper Structured Query Language Database (HSQLDB), an external database such as MySQL, and mapping domain classes to legacy/existing database tables. Finally, it concludes with sections on database development with GoLang Object-Relational Mapping (GORM) and working with Groovy services.
- Groovy - Java - Web Development - Grails
- Productivity Objectives:
- Install Grails and identify the core Grails feature
