Grails: The View Layer [GUM]

Posted by: Colin Harrington on 2010-02-04 00:25:00.0

This past month, I did a presentation at the Groovy Users of Minnesota which I called Grails: The View Layer.  We took our time delving into the Groovy Server Pages, how Grails utilizes Sitemesh and some of the more obscure tags related to Sitemesh.  Currently, Grails’ Sitemesh integration is not very well understood by the community at large and I wanted to spend some time on it since Sitemesh is such a powerful part of the Framework.

I was hoping to spend some more time polishing this slide deck, but hopefully this presentation skeleton is helpful to the community as it is.  I am hoping to give this talk again at Gr8Conf in the USA this upcoming April and spend some more time creating more concrete and digestible examples.
