In this training, you’ll learn how to interact with Gradle Build Tool and its basic concepts, such as executing tasks and adding dependencies. You’ll also learn how to use the Gradle Wrapper and the version catalog. This class is hands-on, so you'll spend a significant portion of the class with your hands on the keyboard, learning by doing, and working through lab exercises.
