Inhaltsangabe

Groovy, the brand-new language for the Java platform, brings to Java many of the features that have made Ruby popular. Groovy in Action is a comprehensive guide to Groovy programming, introducing Java developers to the new dynamic features that Groovy provides. To bring you Groovy in Action, Manning again went to the source by working with a team of expert authors including both members and the manager of the Groovy Project team. The result is the true definitive guide to the new Groovy language.
Groovy in Action introduces Groovy by example, presenting lots of reusable code while explaining the underlying concepts. Java developers new to Groovy find a smooth transition into the dynamic programming world. Groovy experts gain a solid reference that challenges them to explore Groovy deeply and creatively.

JAVA
... a clear and detailed exposition of what is groovy about Groovy. I'm glad to have it on my bookshelf. -from the Foreword by James Gosling
Groovy IN ACTION
Dierk König, Andrew Glover, Paul King, Guillaume Laforge, and Jon Skeet
Combine the easy-to-use dynamic features of Ruby or Python with the power and stability of the Java platform and the result is, well, Groovy. Groovy is a dynamic language that looks like Java down to its curly brackets. It compiles straight to bytecode, and works seamlessly with existing Java objects and libraries. With this single tool developers can both execute command-line scripts and build commercial-grade applications.
Groovy in Action is a fast-paced tutorial covering the Groovy language and how and when to apply it. Java developers will master Groovy's enhancements to Java such as builders, template engines, and support for regular expressions and database programming. The book includes dozens of practical examples. It provides rips & tricks for daily work, unit testing, build support, and even scripting Windows.
What's Inside
- A comprehensive Groovy language tutorial
- Explore the benefits of dynamic programming
- Tackle day-to-day tasks like shell scripting and build support
