Description

John Smart's Java Power Tools Bootcamp

 

The Java Power Tools Bootcamp is a comprehensive, innovative and hands-on workshop covering best-of-breed open source tools and techniques for Agile Development in Java. Learn how to optimise your development process, hone your programming skills and know-how, and ultimately produce better software. And have fun while you're doing it!

The course is an intensive 5-day workshop, with a mixture of teaching and lab exercises. You will learn how to implement modern Agile best practices for Java development within your own organisation. Each day starts with a discussion of Agile development practices and covers what tools and techniques you can use to support these practices.

LEARN HOW TO:
  • Use Maven effectively to improve your development productivity and code quality, promote better software architecture, and improve team communication.
  • Understand the issues around dependency management in Java development, and be able to implement declarative dependency management in a corporate environment.
  • Know how to write effective unit tests and understand how to use unit testing practices to write more reliable code faster.
  • Understand how to use Behaviour-Driven Development to write better designed, more maintainable and more reliable code.
  • Be able to write automated database and web interface tests.
  • Understand how to use code quality and test coverage metrics to improve your code, and understand what the various metrics can tell you, and also what they can't.
  • Have a solid working knowledge of Subversion in the real world, and how to best use it in a Continuous Integration environment.
  • Know how to set up a working Continuous Integration server, complete with automated builds, tests, code quality audits and reports, and automatic deployment to an integration server.

IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?
If you are a Java developer and you want to learn how to implement modern Agile best practices for Java development within your own organisation, this Java Power Tools bootcamp is for you!

COURSE PREREQUISITES
We assume participants have a reasonable understanding of Java development as well as a basic understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle.

COURSE LABS & EXERCISES
The Java Power Tools Bootcamp is above all a practical, hands-on workshop. We believe that the best way to learn is by doing. So lab work makes up a major part of this course.
