Groovy + Gradle Talks

Groovy and Gradle talks by Andres Almiray.

A) The Groovy Ecosystem

Groovy is a well established player in the JVM since a few years ago. It’s increased popularity across the years has spawned several projects that conform the Groovy Ecosystem. You’ve probably heard of Grails, Gradle, Griffon and Spock. But what about the rest of projects that are just waiting around the corner to be discovered and make your life easier? This talk presents them tools and libraries that use Groovy as the main driving force to get the job done.

B) Gradle: Harder, Better, Stronger, Faster

Are you one of those that search Around the World looking for clues on how to get maven to do your bidding or do you just toss a coin and Get Lucky One More Time? Maven works OK but there’s a new tool in town that goes Beyond maven: Gradle. It’s Fresh, almost Aerodynamic. Once you get in Contact with it you’ll feel like Doin’ It Right when building a project. We kid you not, it’s an Instant Crush for those that have followed the maven path. This is The Prime Time of Your Life as a developer, make the most out of it by leveraging the best tools. Oh Yeah.
