This is a virtual Meetup occuring at 5PM UK time. For help with your timezone calculation, refer to this (http://time.is/1700_14_Dec_2016_in_London/San_Francisco/New_York/UTC/Beijing/Sydney/Tokyo?Extremely_fast_builds_with_Gradle).

Abstract:

No one likes slow builds. How many times a day do you compile your application, click the run button? How many times have you cursed Maven, SBT, Ant, Grunt (even Gradle?) for being slow as hell? Maybe some of you even frantically run `clean` as a conditioned response to a broken build tool.

At Gradle, we aim at ​_build happiness_​: there's no reason why you wouldn't expect the same quality standards for your build process as you would for your code. Builds are important, and actually crucial to developer productivity. As such, they can, and need to be optimized for performance. Gradle offers several ways to do this: incremental builds, continuous builds, daemon, task cache or build scans and we've recently put a lot of effort into making Gradle blazing fast.

Learn how you can make ​*your*​ build significantly faster, and reclaim your CPU for coding, not building!
