Power of Groovy and FreeMarker

Here I will tell you folks how Groovy and FreeMarker can be used to reduce the software turn around to a great extent. While working on enterprise applications, for coming up with your business logic you'd most probably work on technologies like Java, C++ or even Python. After building the logic, for the view part you would probably work on some GUI based languages for rendering the view. So, if you're responsible for developing both the Business layer and the View, you'd need to first build the business layer and then the view. It's not a parallel process. Yet another case would be you would only design the business layer and the UI programmers would design the view. In this case, the UI Programmers are still dependent on you. So, only after the Business layer development is complete will the UI programmers start building the view. Again, this is not a parallel development. 

Now pitches in Groovy and FreeMarker. Groovy is best suited for Java programmers as it drills down to a .class on compilation. It's got the power of both scripting and server side programming. FreeMarker is a template engine which renders wonderful view. So, here's the thing - The Server side programmers would develop their business logic at the same time while the UI Programmers develop their view. This enables parallel development. It reduces the total time for software produce to almost 50% less than what it used to be in earlier scenarios. 

Try out Groovy and FreeMarker and let me know if you like it and concur to the above.
