Grails UI Extreme Makeover: Going from Good to Great
An article by Glen
I’m doing a session at The Groovy and Grails Experience called “Grails UI Extreme Makeover”, so I thought I’d throw out a little teaser on how things are going…
The official blurb I’m putting up for the session, goes something like…
A tour-de-force of Grails plugins and Ajax tips and tricks where we turn a default Grails app into a Web 2.0 VC-attracting machine in 1.5 hours.
In this session we explore a selection of extremely useful and glamorous Grails plugins to turn a basic Grails app into a Web 2.0 buzzword factory. We’ll be looking a Tagclouds, JS Effects, Ajax, Searchable, Timelines, Feeds, Tabs, Hovers and Inplace edits and we’ll do it all live.
We’ll be taking a nice, but plain-looking ToDo app:
And doing a live transformation into a searchable, feedable, tagable, hoverable, tab-friendly, inplace editing, animated, ajax-breathing monster:
It’s gonna be a really fun talk.
If you’re in North America from 21-23 Feb, make sure you drop by for a major Groovy geek-out…
In the meantime, I’m off to the beach for holidays… See you all soon!

Hello Glen! it would be nice if you can share this presentation as a tutorial or something for those of us who, unfortunately, cannot attend The Groovy and Grails Experience. cheers!
Damn it. I wish I could be there. It is amazing to see that you will be doing all of this live. I pray this session will find its place on parleys.com some day in the future.
Hello Glen,
this is going to be very interesting. It would be awsome to see it live. What a pitty I can’t attend. But: Do you already now if there will be video coverage of your session?
Thanks. Sven
Hi Guys. I’m not sure if it’s being taped, but I’ll keep you posted!
HI Glen, are you planning to present this presentation to the Canberra JUG ?
I have been unable to attend lately, but I would make certain I went to this one if you did.
Thanks.
Hi Paul, this one might be a bit long for a CJUG night. But I will see what I can do..
Hey! I like the looks of your app, but I’m having some trouble making it build, test and compile. There are two tests that fail in current SVN versus Grails-1.0-RC3: one is something about importing from a zipped-up Pebble blog (file not found, ok whatever) and the other is about TagCloudTesting… anyway I tried to WAR deploy just in case and got a failure.
Yeah, I’ve never done this with Java before, either.
So I wonder if you are in N.A. yet, or if you are celebrating President’s day also in Australia? Probably not… I don’t blame you! I’ve been a President and I have absolutely no respect for those people >:-)
Thanks a lot for the help, and any more you can offer would be highly appreciated!
Hi Glen,
Will you be releasing the slides for this presentation?
Thanks
Hi Glen,
I’ve just started using Grails and I happen to stumble upon this article of yours.
I was wondering if you still have the source code for your Checklr app? Would it be possible for me to download the source code?
I am interested in understanding the UI part of Grails and curious of what previously did with this Checklr app.
Thanks.
