About Groovy
Groovy is a dynamic language written specifically for the JVM. It has a syntax that in many ways will be very familiar to Java programmers. It has been said that Groovy is like the super version of Java. It has the ability to leverage Java's enterprise capabilities but also has great productivity features like closures, builders and dynamic typing. Wether you are a developer, tester or script guru, you have to love Groovy!
About Grails
Grails is an Open Source web application framework that leverages the Groovy language and complements Java Web Development. Inspired by some fantastic ideas behind Rails, it aims to make development as simple as possible, bringing the "coding by convention" paradigm to Groovy and Java. You can use Grails as a standalone development environment that hides all configuration details or integrate your Java Business Logic.
