This course is not for you if you are just getting started using Gradle to build your own projects

I use Gradle plugins to save my team hundreds of hours of unnecessary work each year, and so can you. If you need to fill a key hole in your Gradle build process, then building one or more Gradle plugins may be your ticket to saving time and boosting your productivity. This course is your one-stop, comprehensive resource to do just that.

In this course, I show you how to extend the Gradle build tool for your needs. Beginning with the project and IDE setup, I quickly move on to show the basic skeleton, which is essential for all Gradle plugins. This foundation is then adapted to fit more complicated workflows to fit both large and small projects, alike.

The patterns I discuss in this course are backed by seasoned advice, which I have garnered and practiced for years as I built and led the development of MyUPMC Android, a hospital patient portal application that uses three custom Gradle plugins every day.

Some of those concepts I discuss in this course include:

basic principles of Gradle plugin development

tips for optimizing your projects for team-wide development

hook into the Gradle lifecycle to make your plugin work seamlessly in every build

packaging multiple plugins and events into a single custom extension

publishing your work to the Gradle Plugin Repository

building private plugins alongside existing projects

By the end of this course, I am confident that you will have enough knowledge to build Gradle plugins and events from scratch. The patterns taught inside of this course generally apply to this build tool’s patterns as a whole. Therefore, you can reuse these techniques regularly in your daily development and experience a similarly successful outcome.
