Looking for good book for Grails 2.0 [closed]

Question

Before you close this as duplicate, I am aware of these 2 posts (1,2)

but none of them links to a book that is for Grails 2.0 (all 1.2 or earlier)

I'm currently using Getting started with grails, 2nd edition by infoQ, but it referes to Grails 1.2 and I'm using 2.0, and there seems to be sound differences

Can you suggest a more recent book?

Thank you!

Answer 1

There is no published book that covers Grails 2.0 (this version of the framework is less than a month old).

Luckily, the official Grails reference is excellent. I wouldn't waste your money on a book, when the reference is of such a high quality and is updated with every release.

Answer 2

There is a version of Grails in Action covering 2.0 in the works. ( http://blogs.bytecode.com.au/glen/2011/10/31/springone2gx-2011-was-one-groovy-show.html ) - The MEAP should be announced in early 2012.
