Course Description
Are you looking to learn a new language? Learning a new language helps expand your skill set as a developer and make you more marketable to employers. If you aren't learning a new language because it's not the one you use at work, I think you're missing out on the benefits. I often find that seeing how other languages solve problems makes me a better developer with the languages I use on a day to day basis. I am here to tell you all about an awesome dynamic language called Apache Groovy.
What is Apache Groovy?
Apache Groovy is a powerful, optionally typed and dynamic language, with static-typing and static compilation capabilities for the Java platform, aimed at improving developer productivity thanks to a concise, familiar and easy to learn syntax. It integrates smoothly with any Java program and immediately delivers to your application powerful features, including scripting capabilities, Domain-Specific Language authoring, runtime and compile-time meta-programming and functional programming.
Who Should Learn Apache Groovy?
I am going to teach you everything you need to know to start using the Groovy programming language. This course is really designed for 2 different types of people and I think you will both benefit from it. If you’re a beginner programmer with a some experience in another language like Python or Ruby, this course is for you. Dynamic languages are generally thought of as easier for total beginners to learn because they’re flexible and fun. If you’re an existing Java Developer (Beginner or Experienced), this course is also for you. You will learn Groovy compliments the Java language and makes some of the complex tasks from Java concise and easy.

Hi, I’m Dan Vega. I am a Software Engineer living just outside of one of my favorite places in the world, Cleveland, Ohio I am a self-taught programmer who firmly believes that you can accomplish anything in this life if you put your mind to it, roll up your sleeves, and are willing to put in the work.
I have been writing software for over 20+ years now and I use my knowledge, passion, and influence to help other developers achieve their goals. I teach online and currently, have over 150,000 students.
When I am not writing software I have a number of things that really keep me busy. I love to read books, listen to podcasts, and watch online courses. I have a real thirst for knowledge and it consumes me every single day of the week. I also love to run & lift heavy weights which keep me balanced throughout the week.

I have worked in groovy on and off for the past couple of years, learning from what other co-workers did. So I only understood what others did. After taking this course, I understand so much more about the groovy language and the defined classes and methods that really make programming in groovy easier. And the section on runtime metaprogramming blew my mind, that was powerful.

Probably the most comprehensive groovy tutorial here but felt really disorganized. Seemed indecisive as how if it wanted to be meant for new programmers or programmers not familiar with Java. It's fine for those with Java experience but wouldn't recommend for others starting out in programming or without some Java background.

The course and teaching are pretty good. I'm more than halfway through the course and so far i like the content. However, if you want any questions answered, forget it. At the beginning of the course the tutor gives us a link to his Discord channel and says he'd rather answer questions there, as opposed answering in Udemy's questions and answers section. So I signed up to his channel on discord but notice so many unanswered questions there. I still posted my question there and 2 and a half weeks later, no answer. I then posted a question in the udemy q & a section, again two weeks later, no response. So for this reason I'm giving 1 star, as the q & a section is an essential and integral feature of the Udemy business model.

I liked the content and the way the Dan presented the material. I thought he went in to a good amount of detail without muddying the waters. My only slight complaint would be that for beginners like myself, it would nice to hear reminders of what each part of the code is and what it does as the instructor is typing examples. I think that would help to re enforce the prior lessons.

Great course. It covered a lot of topics in depth. Dan does a great job explaining key concepts and moves at a good pace. Dan shares a lot of other useful resources and regularly looks at the Groovy docs during lessons to demonstrate how to use those.
If you're interested in Groovy, this course is a nice way to get familiar with it and to see a lot of its cool capabilities in action.

It's great! I'm a complete Groovy beginning and don't use Java, so this class is exactly what I'm looking for.
