Get up to speed with Groovy, a language for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that integrates features of both object-oriented and functional programming. This book will show you the powerful features of Groovy 2 applied to real-world scenarios and how the dynamic nature of the language makes it very simple to tackle problems that would otherwise require hours or days of research and implementation.Groovy 2 Cookbook contains a vast number of recipes covering many facets of today's programming landscape. From language-specific topics such as closures and metaprogramming, to more advanced applications of Groovy flexibility such as DSL and testing techniques, this book gives you quick solutions to everyday problems.The recipes in this book start from the basics of installing Groovy and running your first scripts and continue with progressively more advanced examples that will help you to take advantage of the language's amazing features.Packed with hundreds of tried-and-true Groovy recipes, Groovy 2 Cookbook includes code segments covering many specialized APIs to work with files and collections, manipulate XML, work with REST services and JSON, create asynchronous tasks, and more. But Groovy does more than just ease traditional Java development: it brings modern programming features to the Java platform like closures, duck-typing, and metaprogramming.In this new book, you'll find code examples that you can use in your projects right away along with a discussion about how and why the solution works. Focusing on what's useful and tricky, Groovy 2 Cookbook offers a wealth of useful code for all Java and Groovy programmers, not just advanced practitioners.
gRPC Go for Professionals. Implement, test, and deploy production-grade microservices
Clément Jean
In recent years, the popularity of microservice architecture has surged, bringing forth a new set of requirements. Among these, efficient communication between the different services takes center stage, and that's where gRPC shines. This book will take you through creating gRPC servers and clients in an efficient, secure, and scalable way. However, communication is just one aspect of microservices, so this book goes beyond that to show you how to deploy your application on Kubernetes and configure other tools that are needed for making your application more resilient. With these tools at your disposal, you’ll be ready to get started with using gRPC in a microservice architecture.In gRPC Go for Professionals, you'll explore core concepts such as message transmission and the role of Protobuf in serialization and deserialization. Through a step-by-step implementation of a TODO list API, you’ll see the different features of gRPC in action. You’ll then learn different approaches for testing your services and debugging your API endpoints. Finally, you’ll get to grips with deploying the application services via Docker images and Kubernetes.

Developing graphical user interfaces in C# can feel overwhelming with so many frameworks and tools to choose from. This book simplifies the journey by teaching GUI fundamentals through small, structured, and practical examples.You start with core GUI concepts, event driven programming, and basic interface design. Then you build simple web apps using Blazor and WebAssembly, learning about components, rendering, and data binding. Next, you explore cross platform development with .NET MAUI, working with XAML, layouts, controls, and basic app logic. Finally, you create Windows desktop applications with WinUI 3, using common controls and foundational patterns such as MVVM and data binding.Rather than focusing on complex enterprise architecture, the book builds your skills step by step. Each chapter reinforces key ideas through clear examples designed to build confidence and practical understanding.Written by Marcelo, a developer with over 18 years of experience in C#, C++, Azure, and data driven systems, this book helps you gain clarity in GUI development. By the end, you will be able to create simple, well structured web and desktop interfaces in C# and understand the core concepts behind them.
