About this Presentation
Gradle is a compelling new build tool that incorporates the lessons learned from a decade of Ant and Maven. More than just a compromise between declarative and imperative build formats, or between convention and configuration, Gradle is a sophisticated software development platform that simple builds easy and complex, highly automated continuous software delivery pipelines possible to build. Using its extensible APIs and expressive DSL, you're equipped to build your next build.
Bring your laptop to this session for the following:
- Build a Java project
- Resolve transitive dependencies
- Run unit tests
- Build a Groovy project
- Create multi-project, polyglot builds
- Wrap your build with a repeatable version of Gradle
- Extend Gradle with custom tasks
- See the plugin architecture
