About this Presentation

Join me for this 3/4 day Gradle introduction workshop. We'll cover all of the basic things you need to know about using Gradle. Not only will you understand what Gradle is and why and how it works the way it does, but you'll get extensive hands-on practice so you'll be ready to use Gradle successfully in your own projects immediately after the workshop.

Participants should bring either a Windows or Mac laptop to work through the workshop exercises.

We're looking forward to having you in the Gradle Fundamentals workshop. To maximize the learning and value of our time together, we ask that you prepare your laptop that you're bringing to this very hands on workshop.

1) Choose a Windows or Mac laptop that you'll be bringing to the workshop (we have some downloads and installs that are better to do before the event). Ensure you have admin or sudo privileges on the machine.

2) Please have a recent Java JDK installed.

Topics we will cover include:

  • About Gradle
  • Tasks
  • Build Scripts
  • Build Lifecycle and Phases
  • Properties and Plugins
  • Dealing with Dependencies
  • Gradle Wrapper and Daemon
  • Dependency Management
  • Testing with Gradle
  • Sourcesets
  • Multiproject builds
  • Using Gradle with Jenkins

Through my decades in programming and management,I've always tried to make time to learn and develop both technical and leadership skills and share them with others Regardless of the topic or technology, my belief is that there is no substitute for the excitement and sense of potential that come from providing others with the knowledge they need to help them accomplish their goals.
