Programming Groovy--New from Pragmatic Bookshelf
Dynamic Productivity for the Java Developer

Raleigh, NC-Programming Groovy will help you learn the necessary
fundamentals of programming in Groovy. You'll see how to use Groovy to do
advanced programming techniques including Meta Programming, Builders, Unit
Testing with Mock objects, processing XML, working with Databases and
creating your own Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs).

Groovy brings you the best of both worlds: a flexible, highly productive,
agile, dynamic language that runs on the rich framework of the Java
Platform. Groovy preserves the Java semantics and extends the JDK to give
you true dynamic language capabilities-programming in Groovy feels like
you're using an augmented Java. Programming Groovy will help you learn and
take advantage of the latest version of this rich dynamic language, so you
can be a more productive Java Platform developer.

With a particular emphasis on Metaprogramming in Groovy, award-winning
author and trainer Venkat Subramaniam makes it easy for you to learn in no
time at all.

Advance Praise:
Venkat does a fantastic job of presenting many of the advanced features of
Groovy that make it so powerful. He is able to present those ideas in a
way that developers will find very easy to internalize. This book will
help Groovy developers take their kung fu to the next level. Great work,
Venkat!
-Jeff Brown, member of Groovy and Grails development teams
