Gradle Workshop

This two-part workshop provides a hands-on introduction to Gradle. You will learn the fundamentals of Gradle's build language, leverage some of its built-in tasks and plugins, use Gradle's Ant integration, learn how to manage dependencies with Gradle, and top it off with a multi-project build. Please bring your laptops! Familiarity with Java is assumed; familiarity with Groovy is a plus but not required.

n the Java build space, first there was Ant, which provided a reliable way to build without an IDE. Then there was Maven, which gave us standardization in build lifecycles and dependency management. Now... Enter the Gradle and find yourself immersed in a rich build language with the flexibility of Ant, the declarativeness of Maven, and a new level of sophistication that takes your builds further than ever before.

As a result, I have spent the last twenty-five years helping companies design their environment, culture, and human dynamics for optimum success.

Cliff Click

CTO & Co-Founder of 0xdata

Cliff Click is the CTO and Co-Founder of 0xdata, a firm dedicated to creating a new way to think about web-scale data storage and real-time analytics. Cliff wrote his first compiler when he was 15 (Pascal to TRS Z-80!), although my most famous compiler is the HotSpot Server Compiler (the Sea of Nodes IR).
