Getting Groovy with Java
Groovy is an agile dynamic language for the Java platform that builds upon the strengths of Java but supports features such as closures, builders, and dynamic typing. Groovy seamlessly integrates with all existing Java objects and even simplifies testing by supporting unit tests and mock objects. Tasks such as file I/O and data processing with databases (handling result sets, XML markup, etc.) can be written in only a few lines of Groovy code. This is indeed very powerful and increases developer productivity. Groovy code can be embedded in Java code (and vice-versa) and can even be used with the Spring Framework.
This seminar will introduce you to Groovy and demonstrate some examples comparing Java code with corresponding Groovy code that’ll have you saying “Groovy!”
