Grails in Action Paperback – Illustrated, 17 July 2014

I hand no chance to put my hands on first edition and barely started to read second edition which has just arrived to me. The reading is breathtaking. Of course you can find a lot of information in the Internet but when you go through a chain of selected topics the learning curve is steep and rapid. And of course it's paper. Paper still has its own magic! You know smell of new book. Also Mannig will provide you with electronic version. As soon as you get your printed version you'll find instructions inside how to get your electronic copy.

lack of code example

I recommend this book to all who work with the great Grails Framework to build simple- or complex Web Applications.Only drawback is, that this book covers up to Grails 2.3.x. But thats a minor issue, since Grails 2.4.x only has minor changes for most of the Framworks usage.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. I have not had it long but it has already paid for itself.I would say that this book is excellent for a Grails intermediate developer and probably very good for all other levels.

Grailsのインストールから、groovyの基礎 (2章)、テスト、Controller、Modelの役割、REST APIの作成、MongoDBへの接続など幅広く詳しく丁寧にまとめられています。今読んでいる途中ですが、読みやすい英語と解説でおすすめです。Railsを使ったことのある人なら、かなりわかりやすいと思います。
