Making Java Groovy certainly makes Java groovy. It is a fantastic technical book that I have come across in long time with plenty of use cases. A technical book should talk less and do more and this is the book that does the same.
This book covers every aspect of programming covering lots things in development, build process and testing using lots of use cases that will interest you. The books repository on Github maintains the source code used in book. Most of the time, ...more

Initially I thought that this will be next similar book to Groovy in Action or its successor reGina. I was wrong, Making Java Groovy is different from said famous books. It of course shows that writing code in Groovy makes it more concise, less boilerplate. But it less concentrates on Groovy details but on what we can achieve using it in practice for instance while development of Spring apps and how abilities can be extended to achieve task which would be difficult to achieve otherwise for examp

At work I had to quickly pick up Groovy to get started on a Grails project. I mostly just googled, to look up a bit of syntax and Groovy-way of doing things. While It does indeed work to do it that way because Groovy is easy to pick up, I didn't really dig in deep enough to get any true appreciation.

I didn't write a review of “Making Java Groovy” the first time I read it because I didn't know what to make of it. Reading it again now, I know what the problem was. I didn't know enough Groovy to appreciate the examples. Appendix B does cover the Groovy language constructs methodically, but I didn't believe the text that suggest going to an appendix so early on in the book.

The book's motto is "Java is great for tools, libraries, and infrastructure. Groovy is great for everything else". Several examples are shown of how Groovy can simplify, and reduce code (and headaches) in your applications. XML Processing is a huge plus on Groovy's side.
Nicely written and concise. Very good book on Groovy.
Very comprehensive and versatile.
