Great guide and example code!
As Authentication and Authorization are core components of most real world apps, I think it would be very helpful to the community to fork this guide with a more advanced version that adds Spring Security and/or Spring Security UI to this project.

For example, this github issue has the key hack required to get spring-security, hibernate4 and grails3.x working together.

Using Firefox build 52.0.2 on Windows 7 the top navigation links (Learn, Guides, Documentation, etc.) do not show the pointer icon on mouse over, they show the text cursor. The pointer shows fine on the main page of guides.grails.org/ but on all of the guide pages it does not.

The guide is awesome, but if you are using the latest grails version, 3.2.2, some things do not work as expected, I needed to downgrade my grails to 3.3.1 to make everything work.

change path from /dbconsole to /h2-console

make clear that other database engines need their own console:
"Please consider that h2-console only works with h2 database engine configured. Use an appropritate database console if you want to use any other database engine."

Thanks for this guide! I followed along and at Step 5.4 (Bootstrapping) the build started to fail due to missing classes.

• MakeService
• ModelService
• VehicleService
  Workaround: I looked at some other source and found the command (grails create-service Make, etc.) and then I copied over the 4 service classes you have in the Complete project. Then modified the package name to mine.

There are two confusing parts in the creating-your-first-grails-app#services guide:

1. There is a <1> marker by the VehicleController.groovy code snippet with the description:

"By simply defining a property in our controller with the same name as our service class, Grails will inject a reference to the service for us."

but it points to a @Transactional line.

2. Immediately below that part, there is the description:

"We’ve added new property to the model, called estimatedValue."

but it was not shown in the code snippet. It would also be helpful if in the code it shows how the estimatedValue service is used to get the value for that property.

See the attached screenshot below.
