Blending Best of Breed Technologies

Wednesday, May 18, 2011 - 5:30pm

MVC technologies have grown alongside the web from their infancy to the modern state of RAD environments like GRAILS. Technologies like JEE provide dependable, proven tools that can be leveraged by engineers to create complex systems. RAD tools like Ruby and GRAILS provide rapid prototyping and easy to master syntax. By blending technologies, we aim to leverage best of breed from both worlds.
 
Have you ever needed to:
 * Modify markup(HTML) ASAP
 * Enforce no code in the view

 * Stay vendor neutral
 
Have you considered:
 * Extending the core Spring MVC (Struts 2)
