Summary

In this chapter, I gave you all the tools to get started with the Groovy language, but we have barely touched the language itself. Whatever your own personal preference for an operating system or IDE, you should now be ready to start coding.

In the next chapter, we will start to look at some of the essential Groovy DSLs that are available. Gradle is a Groovy-based build and dependency management tool. Spock is a Groovy-based unit testing framework that used DSL syntax to implement behavior-driven development (BDD) syntax into your tests.
