About the Course

Groovy is familiar to Java programmers, runs on the JVM, yet has the ease and flexibility of languages like Python.

In this course you will learn all about how to use both dynamic and static typing, all of the Groovy syntax, and the GDK to help you become an awesome Groovy developer.

Audience

It's meant for anyone from beginners to experienced Java developers.

This course will teach you everything from the basics to the details of what changed in the Groovy 2.5 and Groovy 3.0 releases. It will also introduce you to using the Gradle build tool with a Groovy based build file.

If you already know something, then answering the questions should be a breeze. If not, take as much time as you need to learn and explore before answering the questions.

Before you get started, it helps to install the latest version of the JDK and Groovy.

Requirements

You will need the following to be successful at this course: a computer with a good internet connection, basic computer knowledge and ability to start a terminal or “command prompt”, and four to six hours to take the course.

The Leanpub 60 Day 100% Happiness Guarantee

Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on any Leanpub purchase, in two clicks.

Now, this is technically risky for us, since you'll have the book or course files either way. But we're so confident in our products and services, and in our authors and readers, that we're happy to offer a full money back guarantee for everything we sell.

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

So, there's no reason not to click the Add to Cart button, is there?

See full terms...

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)

In fact, authors have earned over $14 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
