Groovy for Java Developers

Learn what the Groovy programming language is. Groovy is part of the new generation of dynamic languages for the JVM. It's not intended to replace Java, but rather to make it easier, more flexible, and more powerful. Groovy is what Java would have been like had it been designed in the 21st Century. Groovy dramatically simplifies Java development, and also brings modern language concepts like builders, closures, and metaprogramming to existing Java systems. The purpose of this session is to demonstrate both how Groovy makes Java development quicker and easier, and also to show some of Groovy's more advanced features. The capabilities illustrated will include:
Groovy beans
Optional typing
Easy access and processing XML data
Unit and functional testing of both Groovy and Java code
Simplified file and directory handling
Templating
Ant builders, Swing builders, and XML builders
