Groovy is also a scripting language, you can easily… ! – run a Groovy script with the groovy command ! – @Grab & import third-party libraries •no need for a dedicated project or a build file •leverage the wealth of Ant tasks with the Groovy Ant builder ! – invoke other command-line tools !20
anybody :-) Or me for grepping through the logs to compute download stats Anyone who’s not a Bash guru! Groovy team exports Confluence wiki to html, then transforms to AsciiDoc format
feature – an Ant task scripting API to reuse all existing Ant tasks •ftp, ssh, file copying/moving… – a template engine •for generating files, source code – easy creation & parsing of XML or JSON payloads – Sql facility to simplifying accessing a JDBC compliant relational DB – exposing and accessing JMX beans !26
Gradle is a powerful build automation solution – uses Groovy for its automation language ! • You can – build / package / deploy Java, Groovy, Scala, C/C++ projects – handle dependency management cleanly – define and enforce your own enterprise build conventions – extend Gradle declaratively and programmatically !30
Groovy-based initiatives around the DevOps theme ! • Goals – handle Amazon AWS configuration, provisioning and deployments – talking with remote servers through SSH, and automating server configuration, working with scp and more !36
! – http://slideshare.net/aestasit/groovy-dev-ops-in-the-cloud – sshoogr: a Groovy-based DSL for working with remote SSH servers – grammazon: a Groovy library and Gradle plugin for working with Amazon EC2 instances ! – https://github.com/danveloper/provisioning-gradle-plugin – a Gradle plugin for driving server provisioning through configuration !37
! • Many companies started integrating Groovy in their projects through testing, before any line of Groovy code in production ! • Benefit – easier to add, evolve and maintain test cases !50

• You need to… ! – customize an application for a particular customer – configure an application for a particular environment – create / update / externalize business rules – create plugins for extending a platform !60
Jenkins provides two Groovy plugins: ! – the Groovy plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Groovy+plugin •execute arbitrary Groovy scripts as Jenkins jobs ! – the Groovy postbuild plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Groovy+Postbuild+Plugin •set build outcome, display badges, info or error messages, once a build completed !62
Home automation in the era of the Internet of Things ! • Built-in IDE and simulator allow you to automate all your devices of your home with Groovy scripts https://support.smartthings.com/entries/21603015-Introduction-to-Writing-SmartApps ! • Groovy supports allows to • set preferences, subscribe to events, set timers, handle events, send notifications, access people’s presence, consume external services… !64

XWiki is a second-generation wiki http://www.xwiki.org/ (XWiki case study: http://bit.ly/xwiki-cs) • not just content, but programmable • a platform for building your own apps • extensible with plugins and macros ! • You can create your own plugins and macros in Groovy to extend the wiki, and add dynamic content !66
Groovy also brings to the table: ! • a rich API for integrating and embedding Groovy in your app • GroovyShell, Binding, customizers… ! • dedicated configuration API (ConfigSlurper) with a special « builder » syntax with a hierarchical data structure ! • a JMX bean & JMX builder for interacting with and exposing JMX services !68
The goal of Groovy Domain-Specific Languages: • beyond just integrating Groovy scripts and classes: create a dedicated mini-language modeling your business • less technical boilerplate code, focus on the business semantics • write almost plain English-like sentences ! • Groovy has… • a succint, flexible & malleable syntax • both dynamic and compile-time metaprogramming capabilities • operator overloading !70
