As a new developer to Grails you’re probably in awe over the vast number of very powerful plugins which are available to you.

If you’re running servers in the cloud, particularly on Amazon’s AWS and haven’t heard about RightScale you owe it to yourself to check them out. I’ve been using their tools for launching and managing linux servers on AWS. They allow you to automate all of the tasks to launch a new box, and even run [...]
Grails Domain Mocking Limitations
Posted by RyanG in Grails/Groovy on July 27, 2010
So, I just threw out most of this morning trying to figure out why something which clearly should work was blowing up my unit test on a grails app. To spare you the same pain I’m documenting it here. The scenario is that I have Roles and Privileges as domain classes. A role has many [...]
Android OS CarPC?
Generally speaking, I don’t actively participate in the weekly #carchat on Twitter, but I do occasionally glean a few points as I watch it stream across my Twitter timeline.

Posted by RyanG in Grails/Groovy on March 31, 2010
Things have been busy, and I haven’t had the time to devote to writing updates on either the Caddy, or my work in Grails. But enough complaining, to pass the time until I can get some more quality content here, I wanted to share this little gem that took me entirely too long to figure [...]

What Grooves You?
Posted by RyanG in Grails/Groovy, Reviews on February 5, 2010
In my "Day Job", we design and build our applications using Microsoft technologies. In particular, we’re using C#, Silverlight, and IIS to build and deploy our web applications. This makes good sense because the vendors we use are well versed in the Microsoft technology, and like the IT infrastructure of a lot of medium and [...]
Catching the Wave
Posted by RyanG in Cloud computing, Reviews, Software on November 6, 2009
I am something of a Google Zealot, I was using the search engine back before many people knew what it was and haven’t strayed since. I’ve been using GMail for the better part of two years, and it handles ALL of my incoming mail, I even forward all of the emails from my self hosted [...]
