So you’ve learned Gradle, you’ve converted your build, and you’re project is now happily running Gradle builds everywhere. You’re done, right? Maybe not. There are common mistakes that many Gradle build authors make that can have a serious impact on performance, maintainability, or user experience. We’ll talk about some of these anti-patterns and the best ways to fix them.

This presentation is geared towards intermediate Gradle users. We’ll show some examples of these common pitfalls and use live demos to demonstrate proper solutions. We’ll begin with some simple, well-known errors and then build towards more advanced, subtle mistakes. We’ll also highlight some higher order concepts that can help avoid similar issues in your future builds.
