Readers this blog may know that's possible to mix Groovy and Scala code in the same Griffon application (link 1, link 2, link 3). For a time using Scala within a Griffon application required you to still write MVC artifacts with either Groovy (the defaumore »The Griffon Trove: packaging packaging packaging

Since the early days of Griffon it's possible to package an application in several packaging targets; the defaults are jar, zip, applet and webstart. Calling the package command with no arguments will automatically select these 4 targets for you. But whmore »The Griffon Trove: peeking at the build

Discover how both the Grails and Griffon frameworks bring back the fun to web and desktop development.
Grails and Griffon share a lot of history and code, its very likely that what you learn in one framework can be done in the other and viceversa. Both are pretty much on par when it comes to communication across the wire, serialization or remoting; those are precisely the options that we'll explore in this session to build a Griffon frontend powered by a Grails backend.
Painless Desktop Application Development: The Griffon Experience
By Andres Almiray
Despite of all the buzz and hype around webapps over the last 8 years fact is that desktop applications are still found in many places, specially in the enterprise. However the legends are true: building desktop applications is a hard job. But it does not have to be. Enter Griffon.
Griffon aims to bring back the fun and productivity to desktop application development in the same way Grails did it (and continues to do so) on the web. Griffon is rooted in the JVM but has Grails in its DNA. This means you'll find yourself right at home if you're a Java veteran, same goes for all of you that made the jump to Grails. In this session we'll cover the basics to get you started with Griffon. How applications are structured and built. Then we'll switch gears into high speed and cover topics like threading, testing, deploying, handling of legacy code and even network and database integration.
