5. gradle
-> initiated by Hans Dockter
-> first release in april 2008
-> Groovy DSL + java backend
-> Convention over Configuration
"making the impossible possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant."
-- moshé feldenkrais

6. groovy dsl?
wtf?
-> dsl == domain specific language
-> dsl == dependency scripting language
-> groovy sugar + rich domain object model

7. convention
over
configuration

8. gradle is agile
-> fast feedback
-> test driven development
-> easy ci setup
-> deployment
