What can we do with that?
1. Minimize Code
2. Callback (pass a function as a parameter an get the info)
3. Invoke events on demand
4. Access the DOM with ease
5. Connect with AJAX (does all the job what we have been doing for sometime)

Introduction Groovy,DSL & EasyB
- Another parallel track to java still finally converges at the JVM as bytecodes
as all rivers merge in the ocean and become one
- It was another fine brush up by Raj thanks to him.
- Also jumped into an easy testing framework easyb as what Junit is to java
which enables Behaviour driven testing
- Gradle which uses the power or ant and maven but simplified for continuous integration
