Gradle is a build and dependency management tool for Java projects. It's been gaining popularity over alternatives like Ant. In my opinion, it has way to many features coupled into one product, but it's slowly becoming the stand

Here is a thought that I've been playing with over the previous weeks, but I'm not sure if it's viable. What if instead of making a website, you created an entirely mobile application? My theory is that you could eliminate
