Groovy for Java developers
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Java is a good all-purpose programming language, but does that mean it's the best tool for all jobs? Many people have heard of Groovy but don't know much about it except it seems to have a silly name.
In this talk, you'll see how Groovy is a serious language that can help solve a lot of problems. From scripts, to writing unit tests, to building projects, we'll take you through use cases that highlight the advantages of having a second language in your toolbox. All of this is done through live coding.
