... a clear and detailed exposition of what is groovy about Groovy. I'm glad to have it on my bookshelf. -from the Foreword by James Gosling
Groovy IN ACTION
Dierk König, Andrew Glover, Paul King, Guillaume Laforge, and Jon Skeet
Combine the easy-to-use dynamic features of Ruby or Python with the power and stability of the Java platform and the result is, well, Groovy. Groovy is a dynamic language that looks like Java down to its curly brackets. It compiles straight to bytecode, and works seamlessly with existing Java objects and libraries. With this single tool developers can both execute command-line scripts and build commercial-grade applications.
Groovy in Action is a fast-paced tutorial covering the Groovy language and how and when to apply it. Java developers will master Groovy's enhancements to Java such as builders, template engines, and support for regular expressions and database programming. The book includes dozens of practical examples. It provides rips & tricks for daily work, unit testing, build support, and even scripting Windows.
What's Inside
- A comprehensive Groovy language tutorial
- Explore the benefits of dynamic programming
- Tackle day-to-day tasks like shell scripting and build support
- Grails, the Groovy Web Development framework
- Dozens of reusable examples
