Gradle Tutorial

This repository contains comprehensive tutorials for learning Gradle and Kotlin. The project is organized into two separate workspaces that should be opened independently in VSCode.

📁 Project Structure

This repository contains two main workspaces:

1. gradle-lessons/ - Pure Gradle Tutorial (Lessons 1-15)

A comprehensive step-by-step tutorial covering Gradle fundamentals:

• Basic Gradle concepts and setup
• Build scripts, tasks, and dependencies
• Plugins and multi-module projects
• Testing, custom tasks, and publishing
• Kotlin, Scala, and Swing GUI examples

To use: Open the gradle-lessons/ folder in VSCode as a separate workspace.

2. lesson16-nx-gradle/ - Nx + Gradle Multi-Module Monorepo (Lesson 16)

Advanced monorepo management using Nx with Gradle and pnpm workspaces:

• Multi-module Gradle project (apps and libs as direct subprojects)
• Nx workspace configuration
• pnpm workspaces for package management
• Build caching and dependency management
• Nx CLI integration with Gradle

To use: Open the lesson16-nx-gradle/ folder in VSCode as a separate workspace.

🚀 Quick Start

cd gradle-lessons
./gradlew tasks
./gradlew -p lesson01-intro hello

For Nx + Gradle Monorepo (lesson16-nx-gradle/)

cd lesson16-nx-gradle
pnpm install
pnpm run build

📚 Getting Started

1. For Gradle fundamentals: Open gradle-lessons/ folder in VSCode
2. For Nx + Gradle monorepo: Open lesson16-nx-gradle/ folder in VSCode

Each workspace has its own README with detailed instructions.

Prerequisites

• Java: JDK 11 or later
• Node.js & pnpm: Required only for lesson16-nx-gradle/ (Node.js 16+, pnpm 8+)
