Wakaleo Consulting is also behind Java Power Tools, by John Ferguson Smart. This book delivers a suite of open source tools that can improve productivity across all aspects of Java development, including Build Scripts, Testing, Issue Tracking, Continuous Integration, Code Quality and more!

This year, Wakaleo is teaming up with SkillsMatter to bring the Java Power Tools Bootcamps to the UK and Europe. The first course is in London from the 6th to the 10th of July.

There are lots of tools, techniques and practices that you can use to speed up your development process, at all levels. But sometimes it's hard to know what tools exist, or how best to use them. And it can be frustrating and slow going if you have to discover all the tips yourself.

The 2009 Java Power Tools bootcamps are a great way to improve your development skills in a range of areas that will come in useful no matter what Java technologies you use. They are an all-round in-depth tutorial on development tools and practices right across the development life cycle: from build scripting and build automation, unit, integration and functional testing, right through to automated deployment. At each stage, we look at how you can speed up your development using the latest in Java tools and best practices.

With the right development environment, your team can excel! 

With our help, a well-integrated set of development tools will have immediate benefits on your developer productivity.

With our recognized expertise in the field on Java SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) tools, we can advise, define and implement a complete development environment perfectly tailored to your project or organisation, including IDEs, Version Control, Issue Tracking, and Code Quality metrics.

And a modern Continuous Integration Server will provide sophisticated automated build, test, and reporting features, resulting in less bugs, higher code quality and better visibility on the project's status.
