Morph Labs on Grails (November 2008)
Inspired by Rails, Grails, a clean and powerful Web development framework, is designed to be a high-productivity framework by following the “coding by convention” paradigm. If building an application using Grails is fast, deployment and delivery shouldn’t be any different.
By combining people, process automation, and technology, Morph Labs can provide Grails developers with a complete and managed hosting environment for their applications. Morph AppSpace, a hosting environment for single applications, and Morph AppCloud, a cloud hosting platform for multiple applications, empower Web developers and businesses to deliver their applications on an on-demand and enterprise-quality environment at a fraction of the cost of building one.

Grails for Pros
After I quit looking into the Ext JS library because of the licensing problems, I wanted to use another AJAX framework which comes bundled with nice widgets. Before I started with Ext I had already looked into The Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI) but preferred Ext that time. So switching back to YUI makes sense… Read full blog to learn how to use YUI’s DataTable within your Grails app.
