I have to admit I’m finding it increasingly difficult to stay abreast of the developments in the Groovy and Grails spheres. Clients and family are keeping me too busy to trawl the mailing lists and blogs.

As a result I’m starting to listen to Sven & Glenn’s Grails Podcast more frequently. They’ve got a new nice Grails-powered website and the double-team presenting style is refreshing and entertaining. It sounds much better as a dialogue than a monologue.

I have to say guys that you do crack me up sometimes with your “woooh!” and “awesome!” soundbites. Keep up the great work, it must be pretty time consuming to keep up with all this stuff, record and edit the content. Thanks for putting it all together.

Subscribe to the podcast – its actually the only podcast I sub to – and is proving invaluable now my time is even scarcer!

Graeme revealed yesterday on his blog that SKY TV now use Grails for the main website, as well as their sub-sites.

Its great to see another recognized brand using Grails for their public facing websites.

Grails is brilliant because it works wonderfully for medium-sized websites as well as enterprise systems. It has nothing that restricts it to either of these markets.
