Description

Core Gradle: A Build System for Java (GRADLE-01-02) 

 
In this intensive and highly practical 2-day Gradle course, you will become familiar with all the major concepts of Gradle and how to best use Gradle for simple as well as complex build scenarios. This course is packed with hands-on exercises. You will learn about the basic language elements of the Gradle Domain Specific Language (DSL), and how to use Gradle’s build-by-convention for plain Java and Java web projects, and how to use the Gradle plugin system. You will see how easy it is to customize your build. You will learn about Gradle’s mighty dependency management. And much more … This 2-day Gradle course has been developed by Gradle’s founder and Project lead Hans Dockter.

IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?
If you have an interest in building and automating Java projects and want to learn about a build system that tremendously increases your productivity, this is the course for you.  Lectures, discussions & practical exercises, with a heavy emphasis on gaining practical skills.
COURSE PREREQUISITES
This course assumes a good understanding of the Java language. Some code is initially easier to understand if you also have a basic understanding of the Groovy language. But due to Groovy’s similarity to Java, Groovy is not a prerequisite.
