- Practically Groovy: Smooth operators by Andrew Glover - [Clicks: 64]
The Java language has banned operator overloading, but upstart Groovy says "bring it on!" Find out what you've been missing all these years, as Andrew Glover walks you through everyday uses of Groovy's three categories of overloadable operators in this final, regular installment of Practically Groovy.

Delve into a Scripting language called Groovy (aka JSR-241) which will be incorporated into the Java 6 SDK and runs on top of the JVM (and integrates with it nicely). It is incredibly powerful and definitely a tool most programmers should include in their arsenal.

Closures are everywhere in Groovy, and the only problem with Groovy closures is that they can start to seem, well, kind of bland when you use them every day. This month, guest authors Ken Barclay and John Savage show you how to spice up standard closures recipes like closure composition and the Visitor design pattern with just a hint of curry. The curry() method was invented by Haskell Curry and has been in the Groovy language since before the JSR-compliant releases.

With the release of Groovy JSR-1 (and subsequent releases) the changes to Groovy syntax have been formalized -- which means if you weren't paying attention before, now's the time to start. This month, resident Groovy practitioner Andrew Glover walks through most important changes to Groovy's syntax and shows you a handy feature you won't find in classic Groovy.

Ever thought about embedding Groovy's simple, easy-to-write scripts in your more complex Java programs? In this installment of Practically Groovy, Andrew Glover shows you the many ways to incorporate Groovy into your Java code and explains where and when it's appropriate to do so.

In some ways, Groovy programming can be as much like Java programming as you want it to be. You can use it as syntactic sugar to simplify some of your least-favorite Java tasks or you can embrace it and explore language constructs unlike anything the typical Java programmer encounters. In this article, you will get some background and a quick introduction to closures.

The Java platform isn't just for programs written with the Java Programming Language. Learn how to get Groovy with a new agile dynamic scripting language for the Java Virtual Machine. See where JSR-241 is going and what you can do with its results.

Groovy Builders let you mimic markup languages like XML, HTML, Ant tasks, and even GUIs with frameworks like Swing.They're especially useful for rapid prototyping and, as Practically Groovy columnist Andrew Glover shows you this month, they're a handy alternative to data binding frameworks when you need consumable markup in a snap!

The Groovlet and GroovyServer Pages (GSP) frameworks are built on the shoulders of the Java Servlet API. Unlike Struts and JSF, however, Groovy's server-side implementation isn't meant for all occasions. Rather, it's a simplified alternative for developing server-side applications quickly and easily. Follow along with Groovy advocate Andrew Glover as he introduces these frameworks and demonstrates their use.

Scripting languages have proven their value to Java developers. They let users extend and customize the application's functionality and appearance, which adds value to the program. In addition, they can dramatically simplify certain design tasks for a programmer by making it possible to define, load, and evaluate functions on the fly. For a developer, the task of integrating one or more of these scripting languages is easy. Picking one from the growing list is hard. This article describes some of the issues that come with supporting a scripting language in your Java application and compares Groovy, JudoScript, Pnuts, JRuby, Jacl, Jython, Rhino, and BeanShell in a variety of ways to help you make the right choice.

Views are an integral part of MVC programming, which is itself a ubiquitous component of enterprise application development. In this installment of Practically Groovy, Andrew Glover shows how Groovy's template engine framework can simplify view programming and make your code more maintainable over time.

Take your practical knowledge of Groovy one step further this month, as Andrew Glover shows you how to use GroovySql to build a simple data-reporting application. GroovySql combines closures and iterators to ease Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) programming by shifting the burden of resource management from you to the Groovy framework itself.
