Then, it guides you step-by-step through realistic development challenges, from web applications to web services to desktop applications, and shows how Groovy makes them easier to put into production. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou don't need the full force of Java when you're writing a build script, a simple system utility, or a lightweight web app--but that's where Groovy shines brightest. This elegant JVM-based dynamic language extends and simplifies Java so you can concentrate on the task at hand instead of managing minute details and unnecessary complexity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Java Groov\u003c\/i\u003e is a practical guide for developers who want to benefit from Groovy in their work with Java. It starts by introducing the key differences between Java and Groovy and how to use them to your advantage. Then, you'll focus on the situations you face every day, like consuming and creating RESTful web services, working with databases, and using the Spring framework.
