The next chapter The first chapter may look tedious, but if you worked with Ant and Maven before, and know their philosophy, then it really worth it. The next chapter guides you to think about treating the build script as an object, because it is Groovy, and strive for declaration over iteration. Then for the rest, it is bit obsolete comparing to now. Because it was written 7 years ago :P...more

Most of the time, I dealt with the back-end logic, later I switched to the mobile development path that requires the knowledge of the frond-end. This is when this book came in handy. It explains the meaning, purpose and when to use each tag properly. Each chapter is a short story and you can build up a small runable webpage/website from it....more
