Top Griffon Tutorials and Resources

Griffon is the rapid desktop development equivalent to Grails or Ruby on Rails. Griffon is a desktop application framework written in Groovy, a scripting language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. Just like Grails or Rails, Griffon is very DRY and opinionated, comes with generators, and separates your models from your controllers from your views.

Griffon is a new project with the most recent release clocking in at version 0.1.1. Even though Griffon is new, it is based mainstay libraries such as Groovy, Swing Builders, and SwingX. Even with a version number of 0.1.1, Griffon provides enough features to develop functional and complex UIs. To help getting started with Griffon, here is a collection of Griffon tutorials and resources that I have found insightful and helpful.
