false 2669773 1 The strength of Java is no longer in the language itself; it's in the Java Platform (the JVM, JDK, and rich frameworks and libraries). But recently, the industry has turned to dynamic languages for increased productivity and speed to market. <p> Groovy is one of a new breed of dynamic languages that run on the Java platform. You can use these new languages on the JVM and intermix them with your existing Java code. You can leverage your Java investments while benefiting from advanced features including true Closures, Meta Programming, the ability to create internal DSLs, and a higher level of abstraction. <p> If you're an experienced Java developer, <i>Programming Groovy</i> will help you learn the necessary fundamentals of programming in Groovy. You'll see how to use Groovy to do advanced programming including using Meta Programming, Builders, Unit Testing with Mock objects, processing XML, working with Databases and creating your own Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs). 2695005 8 4 2008 Programming Groovy: Dynamic Productivity for the Java Developer total:10|5:0|4:5|3:4|2:1|1:0| 10 34 25 2 4 0 false false Mon Jul 21 12:14:28 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 16 07:34:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon May 26 10:15:37 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 18:46:49 -0700 2008
