Build and test software written in Java and many other languages with Gradle, the open source project automation tool that’s getting a lot of attention. This concise introduction provides numerous code examples to help you explore Gradle, both as a build tool and as a complete solution for automating the compilation, test, and release process of simple and enterprise-level applications.Discover how Gradle improves on the best ideas of Ant, Maven, and other build tools, with standards for developers who want them and lots of flexibility for those who prefer less structure.Use Gradle with Groovy, Clojure, Scala, and languages beyond the JVM, such as Flex and CGet started building a simple Java program using Gradle's command line
Aslag said Unsuitable for both build tool beginners and experts. As others have written, this book doesn't approach the complexity of building software projects and competently building such projects is largely about managing complexity. While it may not be fair to judge the book for its simplistic treatment of the topic (after all it is *really short* and meant to be a sort of introductory volume), it is a tremendous shortcoming. For people with some passing familiarity with Gradle but who want to study it in-depth and apply it to real-world problems, this book doesn't provide much ass. Too basic to warrant a book John Burbridge The book's synopsis is true to its contents. It does not over-promise and delivers exactly what it says it will. If you've never used Gradle before, this book will teach you the basics of building and testing.I would recommend this book only to individuals who don't have any prior Ant / Maven / Gradle experience and prefer reading a book than reading the on-line documentation. For everyone else I'd recommend reading the on-line documentation thoroughly, downloading Gradle and becoming familiar with the samples that are pac. "Fulfills what the title promises" according to Per Holst. The only book out there on Gradle, and it is relatively new published July 2011. At 110 pages it is rather short, and doesn't cover everything about Gradle - it's not a 'Complete guide to Gradle', but the 6 chapters does cover the basics in the obvious ways: Hello, Gradle! Gradle Tasks Ant and Gradle Maven and Gradle Testing with Gradle Multiproject BuildsThe book does provide pointers for migrating from e.g. Maven to Gradle. As I'm not intimately familiar with neither Maven nor Gradle, I can't really say if it is sufficie
