Gradle combines the power and flexibility of Ant with the dependency management and conventions of Maven into a more effective way to build.
This hands-on Gradle workshop covers topics such as: Fundamental Groovy & Gradle concepts, getting started with Gradle, authoring build scripts, using tasks and plugins, building Java projects, automated testing, and multi-project builds. About half of the time is spent on practical exercises, so don't forget to bring your laptop! Pairing is encouraged.
