Beginner's Guides Editorial Review
The "Groovy Programming: An Introduction for Java Developers 1st Edition" book seems to receive mixed reviews from customers. One reviewer expressed frustration with the book's lack of clear focus on Groovy, particularly noting that it spent a significant portion discussing Java concepts that Java developers would already be familiar with. The reviewer also felt that the book failed to effectively contrast Groovy features with corresponding Java features in practical programming scenarios, instead presenting examples that made code unreadable. Another criticism was the book's failure to explain when to use Groovy versus Java, with the example case study appearing more like a Java application written in Groovy rather than highlighting Groovy's unique features. The reviewer did acknowledge that the authors demonstrated in-depth knowledge of Groovy but ultimately found the lack of focus to be a major drawback of the book. In contrast, another reviewer appreciated the concise presentation of Groovy features in the book, likening it to the K&R style with a focus on the language itself rather than design goals and philosophy. This reviewer found the book to be a useful reference for programming in Groovy. However, another reviewer shared concerns about the book's layout, difficulty in finding information, and lack of comprehensive examples. They found the chapter on GPath to be poor and incomplete, and the explanation of closures to be lacking. This reviewer felt that the book was poorly structured as a tutorial for learning Groovy and lacked sufficient reference material. In summary, while some customers appreciated the wealth of information and depth of knowledge displayed by the authors, others found the lack of focus, poor organization, and incomplete explanations to be significant drawbacks of the book. **
