Groovy in Action
Manning, Shelter Island, NY, 2 edition, (2015)Abstract
The first edition of Groovy in Action is the undisputed definitive reference on the Groovy language. Written by core members of the Groovy language team, this book presents Groovy like none other can---from the inside out. Since its introduction a few years back, Groovy has grown from an upstart dynamic language for the JVM to become an integral part of any Java developer's toolbox. Projects like Grails and Griffon have extended Groovy's reach into the web and desktop app world. Groovy in Action, Second Edition is a thoroughly-revised, comprehensive guide to Groovy programming. It introduces Java developers to the dynamic features that Groovy provides, and shows you how to apply Groovy to a range of tasks including building new apps, integration with existing code, and DSL development. This book 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.
