 Chapter 1 Introduction - Groovy is a new breed of language. It doesn’t replace old technology as much as it enhances it. It was created by Java developers who wanted the day-to-day experience of writing code to be simpler. You no longer have to wade through all of that boilerplate code.Chapter 2 Getting Started - Installing Groovy is just as easy as installing Ant, Tomcat, or Java itself—unzip the distribution, create an environment variable, and ensure that the binaries are in your PATH. Chapter 3 New to Groovy - Groovy automatically includes many more packages than Java does by default. Groovy adds new convenience methods to existing classes such as String, List, and Map.
