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.

What You'll Learn:

• Fundamentals:

  • Core concepts when working with Gradle Build Tool.
  • Layout of build configuration files.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

• Interact with configuration files as a developer to:
  • Apply plugins
  • Add new dependencies
