《Java Groovy》是一本由Kenneth A. Kousen所著的专业书籍，它旨在帮助读者深入了解和利用Groovy语言，这是一种强大的动态编程语言，它在Java平台上提供了更简洁、高效和富有表达力的编程体验。该书的出版商是Manning Publications Co.，其封面推荐可能出自Guillaume Laforge之手。 Groovy的设计目标是简化Java开发流程，它继承了Java的语法，并引入了一些高级特性，如元编程（Metaprogramming）、语法糖（Syntactic Sugar）和动态类型系统。书中可能会详细讲解如何通过Groovy的Closure（闭包）和Builder模式来提高代码的可读性和可维护性，以及如何利用Groovy的特质，如轻松的异步编程和强大的集合操作。章节内容可能包括但不限于： 1. **Groovy基础**：介绍Groovy的安装、环境配置，以及它与Java的集成方式，包括动态代理和Java互操作性。 2. **语法特性**：深入探讨Groovy的简洁语法，如一行多行字符串、变量重命名、空安全运算符等，以及如何通过元编程扩展Java API。 3. **面向对象编程**：阐述Groovy的类和对象模型，以及鸭子类型（Duck Typing）的概念，同时对比与Java的差异。 4. **函数式编程**：讲解Groovy的闭包和lambda表达式，以及如何在函数式编程风格下编写更为优雅的代码。 5. **并发与异步编程**：讨论Groovy对Java并发模型的增强，如Closures的并行执行和CompletableFuture的使用。 6. **测试和调试**：介绍Groovy的单元测试框架Spock和Grails框架中的测试实践，以及如何有效地进行调试。 7. **Groovy在实际项目中的应用**：展示如何在Web开发（如Spring Boot）、CI/CD管道、脚本编程或数据分析等领域中运用Groovy的优势。 8. **最佳实践和设计模式**：分享作者根据经验总结出的高效编程技巧，以及如何避免常见的陷阱。作为一本教程性质的书籍，《Making Java Groovy》不仅教授理论知识，还会包含丰富的示例和实战项目，让读者能够迅速上手并掌握Groovy的核心技能。最后，版权信息强调了未经许可不得复制或传播本书内容，以保护作者和出版社的权益。

foreword

When we designed the Groovy language almost 10 years ago, our main goal was to cre-

ate a language that is a complement to Java, a close companion, that Java developers

would be familiar with and could learn easily. The idea was to empower users to be

more productive by removing the boilerplate of Java, and to simplify their program-

ming lives by giving them compelling and straightforward

API

s to work with. I’m

proud to say that the Groovy team attained that goal, making Groovy the most popu-

lar alternative language for the Java platform.

Along the way, and by virtue of its nature, Groovy was adopted by Java developers

in a number of ways. For example, it was introduced in Java projects for testing pur-

poses, because the Groovy syntax is light and readable but still resembles that of Java.

For interacting with

XML

payloads, web services, or databases, Groovy provides handy

and elegant wrappers around the Java Development Kit that make those tasks a

breeze. And for writing business rules in Java applications, Groovy shines, thanks to its

metaprogramming capabilities and its concise and expressive grammar.

I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Ken a few years ago at a Groovy confer-

ence, and our paths have crossed several times since then. Among other topics, we

talked about how Groovy is a great fit for various assignments that Java developers

have to accomplish every day but that are painful with the heavier-weight Java. So

when Ken told me that he envisioned writing a book on this same topic, I was excited

about the idea!

What makes this book stand out of the pack of Groovy books is its focus on the

tasks that Java developers must tackle every day. How can I more easily parse or emit

PREFACE

xviii

That’s a little dark. Plus, I have no idea what the Ring of Power is in this analogy,

or why you’d want to destroy it.

Instead, I’ll simply say that Groovy and Java work

really, really well together, and I’ll spend the rest of the book demonstrating how,

when, and why.

For those of you shifting nervously from side to side, worried that the attempts at

“humor” in this preface will be sprayed liberally throughout the book (thus distracting

from the actual content), let me assure you that other than in this preface, I promise

to confine any attempts at humor to footnotes that can be safely skipped.

When I’m teaching my technical training classes,

I realize that humor is a

high-risk/high-reward tool. Nobody wants to hear a joke when they’re confused.

On the other hand, programming can be a dry

subject, and some humor can break

up the monotony. Hopefully I’ve found the right balance in this book. If not, or if

you have any other questions, comments, or heard any good jokes lately, feel free

to contact me through the book forum at Manning, or directly through my blog

on my website at http://www.kousenit.com.

The source code for the book is available in my GitHub repository.

If you examine

it, you’ll find more examples than the ones covered in the book. Books have length

limits, but source code repositories don’t, and extra examples can’t hurt. I decided to

use the book’s repository as a home for any examples I felt were interesting or rele-

vant, even if I couldn’t justify the extra pages necessary to discuss them.

Again, keeping to the principle that the chapters should be as independent as pos-

sible, each project has its own Gradle build file.

All the examples have tests as well.

The short snippets of code include Groovy

assert

statements, and test cases are used

to execute the scripts during a build. The rest of the examples have a mix of

nit

tests, in Java or Groovy, and Spock tests. In practice I freely intermix both, so it

seemed natural to do so here, too.

Enjoy the hero’s journey

that is Making Java Groovy!

I do hope that if you’re holding a print copy of the book (that is, dead-treeware), no Ents were involved.

Like this one: How many developers does it take to change a light bulb? The classic answer is, “None; that’s a

hardware problem.” My answer is, “The developer is the person by the light switch saying, ‘Maybe this time

the light will go on. Or maybe this time. Reboot again.’”

Seriously, Best Training Anywhere. Contact me for a quote, which will inevitably rise once this book is pub-

lished.

I was going to make a DRY—Don’t Repeat Yourself—joke here but eventually decided against it.

Except in the build chapter (chapter 5), where they have Ant or Maven build files, as appropriate.

So are you the hero, or is Groovy? Let me be blunt. Did you pay for this book? Then you’re my hero. Duh.
