What you should know
- [Instructor] Before we get started, let me talk about the concepts and skills, you should already be familiar with. You should be proficient with the basics of Gradle. For example, you will need to understand, the building blocks of a Gradle build, how to invoke a build, and how to write your own tasks. To brush up on those topics, revisit my LinkedIn learning course called Learning Gradle. This course solely focuses on Java related aspects, in the Gradle build. You need to have practical experience with writing Java code, understand how to express test code, and know how to run a Java program. It'll be helpful, to have exposure, to the Java ecosystem, like popular Java libraries, and where to find them on Maven Central. If you are familiar with the build tool, Apache Maven, you will definitely have a headstart. In this course, we'll use the IDE IntelliJ idea. Consider watching the course, Java 8 Essentials Training, which explains how to install the IDE in more detail. Once you feel comfortable with these concepts, you can go ahead and start the course.
