Intro to Griffon: Grails for RIAs
What is the Griffon Framework? And how would I use it? This session will help those who may not have been following the Griffon framework understand what it is and see how it works.
We will start from square one by installing Griffon and build a simple application from scratch. In addition to basics such as file structures, SwingBuilder view scripts, and data binding we will cover intermediate features such as multiple MVC Groups and plugins. This will feature a good amount of live coding to show the concepts in action.
