In The Brain of Russel Winder: Gant, the build tool for Groovy

Gant, the build tool for Groovy
Russel Winder will do a talk on Gant. Gant is a build tool for scripting Ant tasks using Groovy instead of XML to specify the build logic. A Gant build specification is a Groovy script and so can bring all the power of Groovy to bear directly, something not possible with Ant scripts. Whilst it might be seen as a competitor to Ant, Gant uses Ant tasks for many of the actions, so Gant is really an alternative way of doing builds using Ant, but using a programming language rather than XML to specify the build rules.

ABOUT RUSSEL WINDER

Russel is centrally involved with the development of the Groovy programming language and the GPars framework, is author of the Gant Ant task scripting framework, and contributes to the Gradle build framework.
