Getting Groovy on the Web and Desktop
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.
