A new book on Grails: Grails 1.1 Web Application Development

I have just finished a book for Packt Publishing called 'Grails 1.1 Web Application Development'. The book can be purchased from the Packt site. There is also a sample chapter available.

This book is not intended to be a complete reference to Grails, that already exists. Instead, this book takes a step by step approach to building a useful web application in Grails, introducing relevant and interesting aspects of Grails along the way. The aim is to show off some of the great features of Grails that allow Java web application developers to build slick web applications quickly, while leveraging their existing knowledge of the Java platform. While building the application I discuss some of the design decisions that I have made and also point to resources for further investigation of Grails features where needed.

Thanks,
Jon
