Gradle  is a new build automation tool intended to replace older technologies such as Maven and Ant . With that purpose, Gradle can automate the building, testing and deployment process of your Java based applications. The Android project has already upgraded its building tools to use Gradle . Thus, you should really try this if you are developing Android applications. Moreover, if you are following the  Test Driven Development (TDD) methodology, Gradle is a must. Installing Gradle First, make sure you have installed a Java JDK (Gradle requires JDK 1.5 or higher). Then, you need to download a distribution from the Gradle website (the current supported version is Gradle 1.6) and uncompress the file into your desired directory.

Ruby is an object-oriented, dynamic and general purpose programming language, created by  Yukihiro Matsumoto . One of the greatest features of Ruby is its elegant syntax. It is simpler and more natural than other programming languages. This makes easier to understand the purpose of each line of code on a program, even if you have zero experience on the language. Ruby's web site has plenty of documentation and some tutorials. Here I point to some useful additional resources to start learning Ruby.
