Executing code in the proper thread is a must for every Swing application, problem is that it's so easy to break the rules. Griffon is aware of this and tries its best to help you deal with the complexity of running code in and out of the EDT. Since vermore »Groovy and Griffon @ JavaOne 2012

Groovy AST Demystified
By Andres Almiray
Compilers are powerful tools, they pretty much translate your thoughts into machine code. Extensible compilers are even more powerful. It turns out that the Groovy compiler can be extended by means of AST transformations.
Come learn why and how popular Groovy projects like Grails, Griffon and Spock, have reached out to AST transformations and AST manipulation to boost their success. In this talk we'll dive deep into compiler specifics, by all means bring your laptop if you'd like to hack along.

Summary
Griffon in Action is a comprehensive tutorial written for Java developers who want a more productive approach to UI development. After a quick Groovy tutorial, you'll immediately dive into Griffon and start building examples that explore its high productivity approach to Swing development.
About the TechnologyYou can think of Griffon as Grails for the desktop. It is a Groovy-driven UI framework for the JVM that wraps and radically simplifies Swing. Its declarative style and approachable abstractions are instantly familiar to developers using Grails or JavaFX.
About the BookGriffon in Action gets you going quickly. Griffon's convention-over-configuration approach requires minimal code to get an app off the ground, so you can start seeing results immediately. You'll learn how SwingBuilder and other Griffon "builders" provide a coherent DSL-driven development experience. Along the way, you'll explore best practices for structure, architecture, and lifecycle of a Java desktop application.
Written for Java developers—no experience with Groovy, Grails, or Swing is required.
Purchase includes free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBooks downloadable at manning.com.
