Gradle has become a very populor build tool for JVM development, especially after becoming the primary way of building Android apps.

• Introduction to Gradle for non-Groovy Geeks
• Breaking into the next generation of build tools
• Gradle in a polyglot world
• Usage of Gradle for deployment, Devops, and documentation
