Program Overview: What is Groovy?
Groovy is a dynamic language for the JVM that cuts boilerplate and powers scripting, DSLs, and build automation. This program teaches your team to write idiomatic Groovy, use its Java interoperability, and build automation that teams actually rely on.
Led by JVM engineers who build Groovy automation in production, the program moves from syntax and collections to closures, builders, metaprogramming, and testing. Every module includes guided hands-on labs where your team writes, refactors, and tests Groovy code against realistic automation scenarios.
The program closes with a capstone full build: a Groovy automation toolkit with scripts, tests, and documentation, reviewed by the instructor.
Teams leave able to write clean Groovy, build DSLs and automation scripts, and integrate Groovy confidently into JVM projects and pipelines.

Groovy Course Topics and Program Outline
6 modules, 24 instructor-led hours, and 3 guided labs that move Groovy from theory to dependable team practice.
Built by Edstellar with JVM engineers who build Groovy automation and tooling in production
Built by JVM engineers who build Groovy-based automation and tooling in production, shaped around your stack and use cases.
We check where your team stands on Groovy today, so the program targets real gaps instead of repeating what they know.
Instructor-led sessions teach jvm development concepts in order, with demos and Q&A in every module.
guided labs give your team coached repetition on realistic jvm development scenarios with instructor review.
The capstone full build proves the learning: a Groovy automation toolkit, built, reviewed, and ready to take back to work.
From baseline to job-ready in 24 hours.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Your team will write idiomatic Groovy, use closures and builders fluently, interoperate with Java, apply safe metaprogramming, test with Spock, and automate builds in real pipelines.
Groovy syntax
Write clean Groovy using dynamic typing, collections, and Groovy idioms.
Closures
Use closures and collection methods for concise functional code.
Builders and DSLs
Create expressive builders and domain-specific languages.
Java interop
Call Java libraries from Groovy and mix both languages safely.
Metaprogramming
Apply MOP techniques without breaking maintainability.
Testing with Spock
Write expressive specifications and data-driven tests.
Build automation
Automate builds and pipelines with Groovy and Gradle.
Teams that Benefit from this Groovy Group Training

Groups run with employees at similar levels so exercises match daily work. Mixed cohorts are welcome when goals align.
Prerequisites: Participants get the most from this program with Java or JVM development experience. Groovy is taught from foundations, so mixed-experience cohorts work well. Content adapts to each cohort's codebase and tooling, and the discovery call tunes the depth to your team.
Groovy: skill progression
A realistic path from foundation to advanced jvm development capability, mapped to the modules above. Your team can see exactly which skills each module builds.
Bands show where each skill starts and where this program takes it.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.
Certificate of Training Completion.
On successful completion, employees receive an Edstellar course completion certificate, recognizing their commitment to ongoing learning and professional development. It validates the skills they have built and motivates them to keep growing and contribute to organizational success.
Earned, not attended. Awarded on completion of all hands-on labs and the capstone project.
Training Delivery Modes: Virtual, Onsite and Hybrid
Instructor-led delivery in hybrid, onsite, or live virtual formats, with hands-on labs in every session.

Build Groovy Automation With Clear DSLs and Tested JVM Integration
Edstellar develops Groovy capability through increasingly connected automation exercises. Participants simplify scripts, use closures and collections, and build a configuration DSL before exploring Java interoperability and metaprogramming. The final toolkit is reviewed for readable abstractions, reliable behavior, and documentation and tests that explain how the automation should be used and maintained.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess Java or JVM experience, identifying opportunities to simplify automation and gaps in closures, DSL design, or safe use of Groovy metaprogramming.
- Step 02
Plan
Groovy syntax leads into collections and closures, builders and DSLs, Java interoperability, and testing before the complete automation toolkit is built and documented.
- Step 03
Align
We align Groovy and JVM expertise with developer responsibilities, confirming relevant build tooling and adapting the pace to participants' Java background and scripting experience.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample configuration and build tasks reflect familiar automation needs, preserving exercises in closure-based transformation, Java integration, metaprogramming, and testable toolkit design.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants refactor loops, create DSLs, and write Spock tests, receiving feedback on readability, interoperability, dynamic behavior, and whether tests capture the intended automation.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the toolkit for coherent script and DSL structure, reliable Java integration, meaningful tests, and documentation that clearly explains its supported tasks and assumptions.
