Today’s Agenda: Building Applications

The official topics for today are:

  • Java Builds with Gradle (Chapter 3)
  • maybe CI/CD (Chapter 4)

The two Gradle labs are where you want to be before we hit Jenkins on Thursday.

  • Lab 4 - Build Java Projects (I like to do this one first)
  • Lab 3 - Gradle Tasks

Friendly Learning
