### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this book is over 10 years old and is still gold...
*by A***H on April 2, 2024*

i hadn't programmed in groovy for about 10 years, when i needed to pick it up again for writing a testing system for my current company - as a language it's the perfect blend of dynamic and mature, low ceremony and yet still very rich.i went back to this book, having previously read its predecessor. this book is written so very well, it dives right into all the advanced features that i need. it's extremely clear. some of the stuff that i couldn't find elsewhere that this book covery nicely:* the MOP and meta-object programming in general* compile time metaprogramming and syntax transformations* extension methods and how they require changing the build approach* a concise treatment of DSLsthis book basically is a concise and compelling read on why i chose groovy in the first place. first class writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Introductory Book to Learn Groovy
*by A***. on May 14, 2019*

I have been writing Java applications for several years now. Recently, I started using Groovy and was looking for a book learn more about Groovy. This book fit the bill perfectly. It covers a wide range of topics starting from basics (syntax etc.) to advanced topics (such as Meta-programming, Testing with Groovy, Using Groovy for building DSLs etc.). The writing is crisp and concepts are explained very well. I also expect this book to serve as a reference book on Groovy for me.A note of caution about the Kindle edition: while having a kindle edition saves trees, the code fragments do not lend themselves to good formatting making them hard to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good overview
*by D***L on January 15, 2014*

I'm new to Groovy but an experienced J2EE developer. The reason I bought this book was to address the lack of unit testing in our organization and the author highlights the benefits of unit testing with Groovy. The author says if nothing else write all your unit tests with Groovy just to stay sharp and well practiced, but leave Java for your main application if you have to.I really enjoyed the humor in the book and the analogies by the author. At times I busted out laughing while reading this book. For example did you know an XML document is like a puppy. It's cute and fun to play with when its little, but when it grows up and gets bigger, its annoying. That's spot on and the authors humor is laced throughout the book.Very good read and I know enough about Groovy from this book to get started.
