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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Programming Groovy 2: Dynamic Productivity for the Java Developer (Pragmatic Programmers) - Groovy in Action: Covers Groovy 2.4 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4133765-programming-groovy-2-dynamic-productivity-for-the-java-developer-pragmatic](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4133765-programming-groovy-2-dynamic-productivity-for-the-java-developer-pragmatic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
