Understanding Gradle – Video Series

This repository contains sample projects and further information on my Understanding Gradle video series.

The series introduces the concepts of the Gradle Build Tool one-by-one in short videos. Rather than explaining each feature in detail, the series initially aims at explaining fundamental concepts and patterns. This gives you a general understanding of how things work in Gradle and enables you to structure your project in a readable and maintainable way.
