CODE: JAVA-BOOTCAMP-01-05 DURATION: 5 DAY/S
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.
