Overview

Griffon, an agile framework based on the Groovy language, makes user interface development dramatically faster and easier. In many respects, Griffon is for desktop development what Grails is for web development. Griffon in Action is a comprehensive tutorial written for Java developers who want a more productive approach to UI development. In this book, readers will immediately dive into Griffon. After a Griffon orientation and a quick Groovy tutorial, they'll start building examples that explore Griffon's high productivity approach to Swing development. The book covers declarative view development, like the one provided by JavaFX Script, as well as the structure, architecture and life cycle of Java application development.
