On the subject of books, there are not only 2 books in 2008, we've
already had in 2008:
- Groovy Recipes
- Programming Groovy
- Beginning Groovy & Grails
Then of course there will be DGG 2nd edition and Grails in Action. Of
course this is not the same volume of books for Ruby, but remember
many of the books that come out for Java on subjects like Spring,
Hibernate etc. are also applicable to Groovy & Grails.
