Prototype to Production - Finding Flow on the JVM with Groovy
Ippon Technologies, 3431 W Leigh St, Richmond, VA, USInspired by Python, Ruby and SmallTalk, Groovy is a multi-faceted language for the JVM that aims to provide a Java-like feel and syntax, but with added productivity features. It is especially well suited to tasks such as writing scripts, experimenting with new APIs, spinning up a quick proof of concept and creating expressive Domain-Specific Languages.
In this talk we will go over some of the powerful features of Groovy. We will also explore practical ways of using Groovy to improve your day to day developer experience. Whether you are looking for tools to augment your workflow or getting ready to build a new application, I am sure you will find a few valuable takeaways from this session.
