Presentation Materials
Factory patterns and callbacks have been around for a long time as a technique available to implement flavor specific code variations. Closures may seem like yet another way to crack an egg, but factories and callbacks can be awkward and hard to update. Enter Groovy Closures as an easier alternative! Imagine the ability to inject different coding flavors using code closures. If you need a different flavor, then just pass a different code block! Now imagine all of this works within the JVM and best of all you can leverage your existing Java knowledge and assets!
This discussion will use hands on examples exploring the following:
�
Finally, we will discuss non-functional considerations such as security and performance when deciding whether to use closures in your next project.
