Welcome

Welcome.

This blog is meant to document some of my experiences in producing complex applications/plugins using Grails, Groovy and various tools.  This includes how to use Jetbrains Intellij/IDEA with Grails.

Grails is a very opinionated framework.  If you follow its conventions, then it is one of the most productive environments I know of for developing complex database-oriented web applications.  While Grails is very powerful and concise, if you stray outside of the lines, it can be difficult to diagnose problems.

This blog is meant to help others with these problems.  I considered just logging these on stackoverflow.com, but they don't like it when you post the question and answer together.

I hope others will benefit from my mistakes :).
