render method not working in Grails

votes

I just started with grails in action book.

made the new app by grails create-app

then the book says to have the following code in the QuoteController.groovy

class QuoteController {
    def index = {}
    def home = {
        render= "<h1>Real programmers do not each Quiche</h1>"
    }
}

Now when I browse to page http://localhost:8080/qotd/quote/home I get the following error:

Error 500: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: render for class: QuoteController
Servlet: grails
URI: /qotd/grails/quote/home.dispatch
Exception Message: No such property: render for class: QuoteController
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: render for class: QuoteController
Class: Unknown
At Line: [-1]
Code Snippet:

seems like 'render' is not a valid property? Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? I am using Grails 1.1.1

....must be time for me to call it a night..book says to code the following:

class QuoteController {
    def index = {}
    def home = {
        render "<h1>Real programmers do not each Quiche</h1>"
    }
}

instead of render = "..."
