This short guide teaches the popular JVM programming language, Groovy and its ecosystem. Learn Groovy helps programmers learn Groovy, a flexible open-source Java-based dynamic scripting language built for the JVM (Java Virtual Machine), and the Groovy ecosystem. This book covers Groovy fundamentals, Gradle, Grails, Spock, Groovy design patterns, and advanced some Groovy programming. What you'll learn
Groovy fundamentals, including the GDK or Groovy Development Kit
Advanced Groovy, such as writing Groovy DSLs
Functional programming in Groovy
GPars, the built-in concurrency library
Gradle, the build system
Grails, the web application framework
Spock, the testing framework
Ratpack, the reactive web library
Start building powerful apps that take advantage of the dynamic scripting capabilities of the Groovy language. This book covers Groovy fundamentals, such as installing Groovy, using Groovy tools, and working with the Groovy Development Kit (GDK). You'll also learn more advanced aspects of Groovy, such as using Groovy design patterns, writing DSLs in Groovy, and taking advantage of Groovy's functional programming features.There is more to Groovy than the core language, so Learning Groovy covers the extended Groovy ecosystem. You'll see how to harness Gradle (Groovy's build system), Grails (Groovy's web application framework), Spock (Groovy's testing framework), and Ratpack (Groovy's reactive web library).What You'll LearnGrasp Groovy fundamentals, including the GDK or Groovy Development KitMaster advanced Groovy, such as writing Groovy DSLsDiscover functional programming in GroovyWork with GPars, the built-in concurrency libraryUse Gradle, the build systemMaster Grails, the web application frameworkWork with Spock, the testing frameworkHarness Ratpack, the reactive web libraryWho This Book Is ForAlthough this book is intended for those with a Java background, anyone with basic programming skills could benefit from it.
