Grails 1.3 is out. So what's new in Grails 1.3?

I wanted to create permalinks or slugs of the questions for the urls. Since I already had the regular expression for this -I'm using it on this blog- all I needed to know how to use it with Groovy.

The solution is simple as always. There is nothing hard in programming. Anyway, solution is here.

After a long time I heard there is something called web framework and then I wanted to learn the best one for me. I have reviewed and learned many frameworks and because of the fact that I'm a grasping person, I have learnt more than just one. Is this a mistake? A part of me says yes and another part says it's not a mistake. Both have reasons. So in this post, I will try to write a simple and short guide for people who are desperately unstable on choosing a web framework.

So far it's going good. Ofcourse open source! :) I needed to use markdown with Grails, there is a plugin for that but it requires Grails 1.2 which is unstable. And then I remembered that I could use Java libraries with Grails since it's based on Groovy.

Grails needs no configuration, it is just a full stack web framework which you can install and start creating projects. However if you are willing to use MySQL with your Grails project then you need to make some configurations that will not take even two minutes.

Since I don't like Java I thought I could give a try to Grails as it is built on Groovy which runs on JVM. This is a simple tutorial that I explain how to create a very simple Hello World application with Grails.

Grails was first named as Groovy on Rails but after creator of Ruby on Rails requested "on Rails" suffix to be dropped and the name has changed into Grails which I think is really nice. In this simple tutorial, I explain how to install Grails on Ubuntu.
