As Java the language has matured, Java the platform has become a rich center of innovation. Leading the charge is Groovy, the first alternative language of the JVM to reach significant adoption in mainstream Java shops. Groovy balances the most successful new language constructs with a familiar syntax and seamless Java interop.

Come explore Groovy with Tim Berglund, a consultant and trainer specializing in the Groovy language. We will we look at how Groovy handles the dynamic typing controversy, how it introduces developers to functional programming paradigms with closures, and how it improves on Java frustrations with collection literals. We'll explore its simplified class syntax and see how easily it interoperates with Java code. We'll take a whirlwind tour through Groovier ways of doing JDBC programming, generating XML, and writing unit tests. You may never be happy writing Java code again.
