PowerPoint Presentation

Gradle build scripts are not written in the traditional XML, but in a domain-specific language (DSL) based on GroovyThat does not mean you need to know Groovy to get started with your build scripts.

Initialization: This is where the Project instance is created. If there are multiple modules each of them must have their own build.gradle file.

Configuration: creating and configuring all the tasks for every project object.

Execution: Which tasks should be executed depends on the arguments passed for starting the build and what the current directory is.
