Groovy Recipes: Greasing the Wheels of Java (Paperback)
內容描述
Description
Groovy and Grails give you the power of the
Java platform together with the flexibility and dynamism of a scripting
language. Pick one of the many example projects in this book: at first you'll
scratch your head and ask, "where's all the code?" Then you'll smile as you
realize that Groovy allows you to write code the way you always thought you
should. You will never look at Java the same way again.
Groovy Recipes is targeted at the busy Java professional who needs
quick solutions to everyday problems. Each recipe shows a concise code example
right away. If you need more information, each recipe is explained in plain
English.
Nearly every aspect of the development process can be sped up using Groovy.
Groovy makes mundane file management tasks like copying and renaming files
trivial. Reading and writing XML has never been easier with XmlParsers and
XmlBuilders. JDBC gets a fresh makeover. Breathe new life into Arrays, Maps,
and Lists with a number of convenience methods. Even Ant gets turbo-charged.
You can mix Groovy right into your build.xml, or replace it completely with
code from an AntBuilder.
As an added bonus, this book also covers Grails. You'll be amazed at how
quickly you can have a first-class web application up and running from ground
zero. Grails includes everything you need in a single zip file, a web server
(Jetty), a database (HSQLDB), Spring, Hibernate, Sitemesh, even Ant. If you're
looking for Ajax support, Grails ships with leading libraries like Prototype,
script.aculo.us, Yahoo UI, and Dojo. We cover everything from getting a basic
application up and running to advanced features such as deploying to other
webservers and databases, adding a Captcha, integrating with legacy EJB
applications, and even adding a Google Map.
