Transforming to Groovy<\/h3>\n

Here’s the slide deck from Venkat:\u00a0http:\/\/www.agiledeveloper.com\/presentations\/transformingToGroovy.zip<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/div>\n

Groovy is a elegant, dynamic, agile, OO language. I like to program in Groovy because it is fun and the code is concise and highly expressive. Writing code in a language is hardly about using its syntax, however. It is about using the right idioms. \u00a0This talk will cover some nice Groovy idioms.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
