Don't waste years learning Gradle the hard way
5 years ago I joined a new team and faced frustrating build issues. The old build tool was slow and didn't do what we needed. I knew we had to switch to Gradle.
But I didn't know Gradle. I copy & pasted to get anything working. The mysterious build script made no sense.
Did I give up? No, but I struggled for years with documentation written for experts.
Eventually I learned to setup our project properly in Gradle. It built like a well-oiled machine, we saved hours each day, and the team looked to the future.
There was a wonderful a-ha moment when the build script finally made sense.
To help you reach Gradle mastery in weeks rather than years, I put everything I learned into a book. Gradle Build Bible is the fastest way to master the build script and scale your Java project for success.
