Fumbling and Stumbling with Grails

Motivated by display_name's inspiring fumbling and stumbling spiel, I started perusing the contents of the website display_name and his anonymous colleague recommended. I stumbled upon a good course to get folks started in Grails (http://www.grailsexample.net/course-outline/). The course walks you through creating a sample application while exposing the learner to the nuances and niceties of grails framework for web development. It is very easy to follow even for someone like me who has not programmed professionally and only dabbles in some small scripting here and there. So, if you are like me, would highly recommend the course. I have made it through the first part of the course and cannot wait to take the second half.
