Gradle 101 Workshop - Part Two
Gradle combines the power and flexibility of ANT with the conventions and dependency management of MAVEN into a better way to manage project builds. Powered by a Groovy DSL, Gradle provides a declarative way to describe a project build through sensible defaults. Based on its power and flexibility, Gradle is quickly becoming the build system of choice for many open source and corporate organizations.
This workshop is designed for software developers already well verse in Java but who are new to Gradle. The workshop consists of interleaved presentations, demos and lab work. The workshop outline consists of:
- Getting Started with a Java Project
- Working outside the Conventions
- The Groovy Part of Gradle
- Groovy / Java Project
- Working with Tests
- Working with and Moving from ANT
- Migrating from Maven to Gradle
- Multi-Project Builds
It is required that you have your own laptop along with a Java and text editor. Lab code will be provided along with Gradle binaries. Attendees will progress from installing and configuring Gradle to building multi-project solutions.
