Apache Groovy is an object-oriented programming language
For the Java platform.

Groovy is unusual among programming languages in that it doesn’t seek to replace its predecessor.

You can freely mix Groovy with Java on a class-by-class, or even line-by-line, basis.

If you are working with Java, there’s no reason not to make your life easier by adding Groovy where it helps the most.

Groovy helps Java in many ways, especially when processing XML or JSON data, replacing anonymous inner classes, adding tons of library methods that Java has needed all along, vastly simplified file and database manipulation, and much more.

This talk will demonstrate how you can add Groovy to Java applications and simplify your development job immediately.

Presenter: Kenneth Kousen (LinkedIn profile, O’Reilly bio) President of Kousen IT, Inc., a technical training, mentoring, & consulting firm in all areas related to Java, specializing in Android, Spring, Hibernate/JPA, Groovy, and Grails. Author of  “Making Java Groovy” and “Gradle for Android“, Ken is a regular speaker at  conferences. In 2013 he won a JavaOne Rock Star award.  In addition to owning several technical certifications, his academic background includes two BS degrees from M.I.T., an MS and a Ph.D. from Princeton, and an MS in Computer Science from R.P.I.
