Beginning NetBeans IDE for Groovy, Grails and Griffon is the book that contains everything on NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE), specifically building/creating your Groovy, Grails, and Griffon Web and desktop applications quickly and efficiently. SpringSource acquired the company behind Groovy and Grails and is now taking the lead in growing and integrating the dynamic (Java-based/like) Groovy web scripting language and Groovy-based Grails web framework into the most popular and adopted meta framework in Java, the Spring Framework. With these efforts in place, Groovy and Grails are becoming the de-facto Java-based Web scripting language and framework. In addition, the new Griffon framework is available, allowing Java/Groovy developers to build powerful but lightweight "Swing-like" rich client and UI desktop applications.
