Well.. maybe not “move the earth”… but I might just be able to come up with a pretty nice little sample blog app. My goal is to have something to add to the Grails samples distro so that people have a nice, gentle, but complete app to cut their teeth on.
The humble blog app seems to be low handing fruit, (some people have already started work on such beasts) so I’m off and running on my next little project. I’m modelling off Simon Brown’s way cool Pebble (which powers this site at the moment), but if I’m to fit it into 1000 Lines of Code, I’m going to have to dispense with a few features… so… may I introduce:
Gravl - Pebble, but smaller, and without some of the niceties.
Ok. Here are the rules.
The main aim of the app is as a samples/teaching tool. So I’m cramming a fairly diverse set of stuff in just so people have examples of some of the powerful features in Grails. In my sights right now are:
Boy.. That all sounds a little ambitious.. Let’s see how far I can get by Christmas… It’s Grails, right? I’m sure I’ll have something to show…
