Transforming to Groovy
Groovy is a elegant, dynamic, agile, OO language. I like to program in Groovy because it is fun and the code is concise and highly expressive. Writing code in a language is hardly about using its syntax, however. It is about using the right idioms. Come to this section to pick up some nice Groovy idioms.
In this presentation you will take some Java code that does common operations and transform it to idiomatic Groovy. You will participate in exploring various options as you help transform several examples. Each example is intended to hone a particular idiom or Groovy facility.
