Tomás Lin announced on his blog that he decided to share what he has written about Flex on Grail. His book is licensed under Creative Commons License, you can view it here.
Right now, only the preface and the hello world chapters are online. In the coming weeks, I?ll update the content on my hard drive, write new content and post them online. Feedback is highly appreciated.
This book will target Flex 4 and either Grails 1.2. or Grails 2.0, depending on it?s release schedule.
What this book is all about?
This book is about combining the power of Flex 4 with the ease of use of Grails.
With Flex, we can build powerful desktop applications like Tweetdeck or incredibly useful web applications like those available at http://www.aviary.com/.
With Grails, we can harness the power of Java in a rapid development framework with the features and advantages of Ruby on Rails.
What is Grails?
Grails is an open source web application framework which leverages the Groovy programming language (which is in turn based on the Java platform). It is intended to be a high-productivity framework by following the “coding by convention” paradigm, providing a stand-alone development environment and hiding much of the configuration detail from the developer.
I think we should all thank Tomás for his work! He is giving his book to the community for free!
Please tell me what you think, share your opinion.
