John Smart's Java Power Tools Bootcamp

Have you read the Java Power Tools book (O'Reilly)?

The author John Smart will be flying over from New Zealand to run the Java Power Tools Bootcamp!

This 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.
