Gradle is an extensive build tool and dependency manager for programming projects. Gradle can automate the building, testing, publishing, deployment and more of software packages or other types of projects such as generated static websites, generated documentation or anything else.

In this course students will learn the core concepts of Gradle and how to use Gradle to manage building, testing and deploying your Java application.

We will first go through some Gradle fundamentals and how to build a Java project with Gradle, add a dependency to a project,  and create a library module. We'll also get into the Gradle project structure, Gradle tasks, Gradle in the cloud, and more.

Students will learn by doing, by working through exercises designed to build on the presented material and explore.
