Our Verdict
Although this course offers a good starting point for learning Grails basics and MVC architecture, its age makes it necessary to look elsewhere for information on newer versions (Grails 3.x) and practical know-how in areas like database configuration, custom queries, REST communication, and testing. This is an excellent first step if followed by more advanced tutorials or self-study with updated documentation.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of Grails' high-level components and MVC
- Simple and easy-to-follow tutorial style
- Building a project from scratch helps learn the basics effectively
- Instructor covers fundamental concepts thoroughly
Potential Drawbacks
- Outdated content and tools (Grails 2.x, Eclipse GGTS, AppFog)
- Lack of explanation on automated testing, database configuration, transactions, custom queries, and REST communication
- Examples supplied without in-depth explanations and 'under the hood' knowledge
- Limited to a specific IDE, which may not suit everyone
- Missing long-tail keywords like Grails 3.x, command line
