Summary
In this iteration, we added some useful features for event organizers, volunteers, and users at large. Along the way, we learned about the Criteria Builder for involved queries and about the Searchable plugin for full-text search. We also got some more practice using those awesome Grails custom tags. The application is starting to look good and perform all kinds of handy functions. Our customer is anxious to put it to use and is already preparing some ideas for version 1.1.
In the next chapter, we’ll add volunteer registration and do some general refactoring based on feedback from our customer. We’ll try more plugins and test some cool tricks with Grails URL mapping.
