From the Back Cover
Kenneth Barclay and John Savage
For a book targeting those new to scripting, OO or dynamic languages in general, this book is fabulous!?
Andrew Glover, President, Stelligent Incorporated
Groovy is a unique scripting language designed to augment the Java platform. It offers Java-like syntax, native support for maps and lists, methods, classes, closures, and builders. With its dynamic weak typing and seamless access to the Java API, it is well suited to the development of many small- to medium-size applications.
Groovy is more expressive and operates at higher levels of abstraction than Java. This results in more rapid application development and increased programmer productivity. It can be used for gluing? applications together rather than implementing complex data structures and algorithms.
Another major strength of Groovy is that the coding effort required is relatively small by comparison with code written in Java. Often the latter appears to be overly complex and difficult to understand and maintain. This is because it requires extensive boilerplate or conversion code not required by Groovy.
In one of the first guides to Groovy, authors Kenneth Barclay and John Savage introduce all the major aspects of Groovy development and explain the dynamic features this innovative programming language brings to the Java platform. This book assumes only a general knowledge of Java programming. Whether a seasoned Java developer or new to scripting languages, youll receive expert guidance on how to make Groovy work for you.
