Its Saturday,

And I decided to put my recently learned Grails Fu to the test. The concept: Email Marketing System.
I’ve been using SugarCRM to cheat around services like MailChimp and SurveyMonkey.

But I think an email sender is very similar in design terms to any other business process that can be automated.
Which is what I just finished working on, automating a business process in a web based app using Grails.

So I’ve quickly fired it up, everything at the latest version (STS 3.1.0, Grails 2.1.1) , installed spring-security-core for accounts management, and in about an hours time, I have most of the core internals designed.
Very RAD.

At this rate, I might be able to launch the site by next week.
