Bro, you are a saint. I always marvel at the folks that produce high quality tutorials for free, especially when compared to some of the lackluster professors in paid academia. Thank you so much for this!
This video is definitely high quality and very valuable, however saying that this tutorial is for free is misleading, nothing is for free, it is a long term lead generation, and there is nothing wrong with that. But people need to understand how sales work, and putting out "zero-cost content" is not free, it is how you build potential sales and convert them later, or get ad revenue for google ads. Just thought to point out this sales lesson for you to understand the dynamics of what you think are "free videos".
I have had a paid subscription for pluralsight for over 10 years. Off lately I have started finding free youtube tutorials way better than paid pluralsight courses. Good job Tom!
This is exactly what I needed! I've used Gradle before but with an interview coming up I wanted to really understand the tool. Your examples were perfect and I feel a lot more confident going into this interview, thank you!
High quality is an understatement ! VERY WELL DONE your talent is underrated mate. Your ability to be clear concise and gather you audiences attention whilst providing key info is priceless PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK👍
English isn't my native tounge but recently I watched the udacity gradle course also here on RUclips, I had a hard time learning anything. This 24 minutes made a whole lot of sense to me. I'll be following your channel for a lot more. Thanks!
Wow, this tutorial I feel like is the type of tutorial I've been looking for, for years now the way you present the content and talk about it is easy and clear to understand and not too advanced. I recently graduated with my BS in computer science and for the courses that Java was the focus of we always used Maven. Recently I got a dev job and we're using Gradle since day one now things are much clear on the switch and give me more direction on how to articulate questions I have as well as what to search for in the future. Thank you, gained a subscriber!
I really like the concise nature of this tutorial. It really skips so much of the filler I found in other courses and documents. Thanks for doing this.
I woke up this morning, thinking and wishing that today I will try understand concepts around gradle (its purpose, how it functions, how to use it), and the Almighty gifted me this wonderful tutorial. I cannot thank you enough !
This is a masterful tutorial. RUclipsrs teaching anything should take note. It's simple but (high-level) comprehensive and anticipates the major questions a Gradle newbie would have. "You should be able to run the jar file now right? Let's try it... well, not quite - and here's why, and here's how to fix it..." while introducing another important build config concept. And while we're at it, let's subtly switch over to the online documentation for the feature we're about to explain so you can glean that too. And the precision... not just "let's write this code", it's precise: this is a method, passing a closure, next we call 'x' method and pass a map... reinforcing the Groovy basics. So well done!
I read the gradle documentation but was still confused. I found your video which is absolutely perfect and easy to follow. Thank you so much, everything is crystal clear now ! Greetings from France
Thanks for the clear explanation and for mentioning that the build file actually consists of methods and closures. It makes the process so much easier to understand.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I really liked the way how you speak slow and clear, and always getting back to the basics before getting ahead too much. Before watching this tutorial, Gradle was quite confusing. After watching this video, I have a good understanding of the basic concepts. Thanks a bunch!
I was recently assigned with a Java project which I have 0 experience. Your videos make jvm ecosystem a lot less overwheming. Thank you. I subscribed and hopefully can see more videos from you!
Thank you man, I was very confused about how gradle works and what it does because it's the first time I'm using a build tool and you made it all clear to me!
Thank you very much for making this video! I actually have an exam in two weeks which focuses on Gradle. Our professor unfortunately didn't manage to convey why Gradle is a tool we should even bother with, but your introduction made that clear very quickly, which was exactly what I was looking for.
This is gold. I have worked on JS/TS for over 2 years and assumed that no documentations/tutorials are going to be as simple as JS/TS tutorials. I thought Java stuff (especially build tools) are very complex to follow and understand (hated all the ugly documentations, articles and blog posts). You changed my mind. Anything can be made simple, if done by the right person. Thanks for this amazing introduction.
Hi Tom, thank you so much for your works. I not only finished watching and creating my first gradle project from this video, but also just finished your entry level cource. Keep going and cheers
Definitely keep making these videos. I enjoyed the step by step process of video and how you structured the content. It demystified a lot of files in the gradle directory and the concepts around the tool itself. Excellent work!
I just subscribed. This is just what I needed and was looking for. It's concise, clear, has explanation and hands-on. This is what a tutorial should be. My goal is to learn Java, but I wanted to include using a build environment along with it rather than using javac. My desired path and platform based on research is to use vs-code for my IDE, Gradle as the build tool, and develop using Quarkus framework. This gets me off to a good start. I think with this as my baseline starting point, I should be able to pull in the rest. I'm going to check out your other videos to see if they might also help.
I always come across gradle when working in Minecraft mods and never got into trying to understand what's all the magic that is going on, but I think getting more familiar with it will help me not only understand a bit more but also understand some of the setups that are now possible in order to develop Minecraft mods for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge plus a common code area at the same time. Those setups get really complex, but I believe most of the magic comes from what the gradle files are doing behind the scenes for us.
Dude, you made it so simple and explained it nicely that I am almost looking forward going to work and work with Gradle :D Thanks good luck with the courses.
Thank you so much for this concise gradle tutorial which covers the basic/ core concepts!!!! I am now from a complete beginner (no knowledge on gradle at att) to can explain to my colleagues about how gradle works.Thanks!
This is awesome! Much appreciated. Thanks Tom for making this quick and informative video. I come from maven background and this video is really helpful for my next Gradle based assignment. Would recommend my friends to have a look at this video.
Wow Tom - what a tutorial. Your approach was confident, very concise, and clear step-by-step, not assuming any prerequisite knowledge and explaining every jargon without getting too diverted, wonderful visuals and an excellent detailed blog post for people like me who like to read - though I have seen so many positive reviews, I still felt the need to thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Being a RUclips creator myself, I am inspired by you for the comprehensive yet brief and accessible resource, delivered with such poise and calmness. May God bless you Tom.
Your videos are so fun to watch!! And make things seem so easy although its really not. Thank you so much for this thorough explanation! You made my day!
Man this is by far the best gradle HANDS ON tutorial on the net includes udemy courses, great work. the only part that missing is the way you communicate with the gradle's documentation... it seems like the commands you're putting out there is out of no where, while if you would refer to the gradle's documentation and how to search there it would be much clearer. one again - GREAT video. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
@@TomGregoryTech Yes, Exactly. same about the dependencies and everything else you entered there, i guess the purpose of the video is to gain beginners basic information and independency in related to gradle. The basic information part is well covered, while the independency part can not be covered unless your viewers wont know how to search by themselves at the documentation. Once again, thanks a lot.

Our professor unfortunately didn't manage to convey why Gradle is a tool we should even bother with, but your introduction made that clear very quickly, which was exactly what I was looking for.
Awesome! Yeh it's good to undestand why we use these tools. I'll admit though, I didn't know there were Gradle exams. Good luck!
Wow honestly, what an amazing tutorial!
Your explanations are so abstract and understandable. Thanks!
Well done. Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial. This demystified a lot of stuff surrounding gradle for me. Super helpful!

This was a huge help. Note to others, watch out for your own typos. I was able to follow along using Ubuntu 22.04 with no issues. Thank you!
Hi Tom, thank you so much for your works. I not only finished watching and creating my first gradle project from this video, but also just finished your entry level cource. Keep going and cheers

This has really given me a good idea of the purpose of Gradle and improved my knowledge of use, thanks!
Thanks for keeping it simple and showing the small details which other people(including me :)) generally ignore !
