Now, I’ve used Ruby on Rails before and it’s obvious how much Grails copied from Rails. That’s fine, it’s supposed to be a competitor. Some things seemed to be harder than necessary in Grails, but that could be because the book was written for an old version.</blockquote> The book mentions a handful of places where server/application restarts are required, and many of those issues have since been resolved. The developer experience is key, and we intend to completely eliminate the need for any server/application restarts prior to the 1.0 release. You can also expect numerous performance improvements as well. By the way, if you'd like, you can work through the book using the <em>current</em> version of Grails - 0.4.2 - and compare your progress to the <a href="http://jasonrudolph.com/blog/2007/03/13/getting-updated-with-grails-updated-source-code-available-for-grails-042/" rel="nofollow">recently-updated source code</a>. I hope this helps. Thanks for spreading the word about Getting Started with Grails.
