Look inside

Welcome to the wonderful world of Groovy, and get ready to supercharge your developer productivity by harnessing the power of Groovy's lightweight and succinct programming syntax.

In this course, we take you step-by-step through the most common features and programming idioms of the Groovy programming language. We'll explore Groovy's lightweight and powerful syntax, which slashes development time down by at least a quarter of the time you'd spend writing the equivalent program in Java.

Even if you are a proficient Java developer, Groovy could still become your go-to language when it comes to knocking up quick scripts to automate drudge work—and even for writing full-scale applications using other frameworks such as Grails and Griffon.

Groovy is predominantly seen today in Jenkins pipelines scripts and in Gradle build scripts, but this really underplays its power and versatility, as we'll see in this course. Once you learn Groovy, you will get excited about its features and start using it in your day-to-day developer activities.
