This is a really good introduction to Groovy. Was able to start this on a flight from Orange County to Seattle, and by the time I arrived I was already productive thanks to the good coverage of the basics early on, and the cookbook examples which cover many scenarios from JSON processing, web requests and more.

The authors are clearly seasoned IT professionals, they teach you the most advanced features of Groovy with great competence and neatness. Particularly appreciated the chapter on the DSL, on AST and dynamic behavior definition.

Once again, I received the opportunity from Packt Publishing to review some books. Next in line is the “Groovy 2 Cookbook”.
