Description Engineers want to focus on developing features for their Android app and not let build logic get in the way. In this training we will examine how to organize an Android app that has multiple modules. Along the way we will cover best practices and understand how to modularize your application as well as the build logic for long term success. By the end of the training you will gain familiarity with how Android projects use Gradle Build Tool for managing build logic and become more comfortable working with build logic for both personal and professional Android projects. Duration 3 hours 15 mins training session Audience This class is designed for developers and build engineers who want to get familiar with build logic for Android projects. Prerequisites Recent version of Android Studio installed https://developer.android.com/studio Some experience creating Android apps Understanding of core Gradle build concepts Kotlin experience is a plus but not required Objectives Get familiar with build logic for Android projects Be comfortable with creating or modifying build logic for existing projects Learn how to modularize Android projects and build logic for long term success Course Outline Overview of sample Android app Creating app with build best practices Using Kotlin for build logic Centrally define dependencies using the version catalog Modularizing your project and build logic Having shared common build logic via convention plugins Next Steps

Description Large software projects may consist of many components, each with its own configuration. Managing the growing configuration can be challenging and if not done correctly lead to misconfiguration and frustration. Also often there will be common configuration and dependencies for these components. In this training we will cover best practices on how to organize build configuration for large software projects. We will dive into details of Gradle Build Tool features that make it easier to manage shared configuration and dependencies. These will not only make it easier to manage configuration for large software projects, but also improve build performance. Duration 2.5 hours training session Audience This class is designed for Build Engineers and Software Developers who want to learn how to better manage Gradle Build Tool configuration for large software projects. Prerequisites Gradle Build Tool experience Knowledge of core concepts Authoring Gradle build files including defining dependencies Executing common tasks to compile, test and package Kotlin experience is a plus but not required Experience with software development Objectives Learn how to structure build configuration for large software projects Course Outline Shared Configuration Overview Legacy approaches buildSrc includeBuild Custom Task Configuration Version Catalog Usage in shared configuration Next Steps

Description The objective of this training is to teach build engineers how to use Gradle Enterprise insights and analytics to debug and accelerate their builds. Fast,efficient and reliable builds provide productivity benefits to all who run the build, and allow the build to be run more often for faster development cycles and identification of issues. Topics covered: About the local build cache and remote build cache How to make tasks cacheable Debugging cache misses 3 build acceleration experiments to conduct Monitoring for build regressions Duration 1 hour of content Audience Build engineers, or any developers wanting to learn more about improving their builds. If an important project currently has nobody responsible for the build, we recommend designating a person to attend this training. Prerequisites Attendance of the Gradle Enterprise for Developers training or the equivalent basic understanding of Gradle Enterprise. (if you have missed the session, you may view a recorded version here: https://tv.gradle.com/ge-training-for-devs) Objectives Individuals who have attended this training will understand how to optimize their builds for build caching to maximize performance benefits and accelerate build times, and how to keep it that way by identifying and addressing regressions that can occur over time.
