Myths are powerful things. They certainly have the ability to destroy—we’ve seen that many times. But put the right spin on a myth and you can use it to build up; to create something new and better.

Making great mobile applications used to require a certain type of skill, but with the latest technologies you don’t need much more than basic web design knowledge. With the aid of Apache Cordova , developers can make native API calls directly from JavaScript functions. Pair this with a front-end framework like Adobe PhoneGap or my current favorite, Ionic Framework , and you can create stunning mobile applications with no more than CSS and HTML skills.

The post Count Records From A hasMany Relationship In Grails appeared first on The Polyglot Developer.
