Java Has One Major Problem

Turning code into working software requires a tedious extra step—build.

Compiling code and running tests can be slow and unreliable. It steals precious time from actually delivering new features.

Until now.

Gradle is the modern build tool for Java developers, helping them build software fast and reliably. But Gradle only works effectively when your project is setup just right.

Tom Gregory

I won't use any other build tool

After years reading the docs and much trial-and-error, I finally discovered how to use Gradle effectively. I was able to turn slow old projects into finely-tuned machines.

Having applied Gradle in big and small companies, I'm now sharing everything I learned to help devs enjoy coding again.
