Description

Sample Reviews:This was an exceptionally good course! I found what I needed in the first 45 minutes, and I watched the rest just to make sure I had full coverage. I feel like I am completely competent in Gradle, andI have already converted 3 of my projects to use Gradle, and it is all working surprisingly well. Good job! – Keith SwensonCourse is certainly very informative and the fundamentals are well explained with real world examples. Especially multi module gradle concepts and custom plugins adds, because they are very much useful for a IT developer. Lecturer voice is clear and intense. Thank you very much – Sunil KumarI was waiting for Bharath's course on Gradle and when it came out, I purchased it instantly. I did not even hesitate once before buying it since I already know that this course will be as good as his other courses. I recently joined a company and there we are working on a big project which has so many configurations and it was build using Gradle and I was having trouble understanding them. I googled and read some online blogs, watched some youtube videos but still many things were not clear to me so when his course came on Gradle I was overjoyed. His explanation is so simple, precise, short and to the point – SauravAre you a Java or Spring Boot developer who wants to master Gradle then this course is for you.Are you a developer with Maven background who wants to quickly learn Gradle then this course is for you as well.
