"No matter whether you are just adopting Maven and Nexus in your development infrastructure or have been using it for a while, you can benefit from having your team trained by Maven experts."

Over the past six months, the new virtual-classroom Maven training courses have proved to be tremendously popular. Delivered in real-time by Sonatype instructors in two four-hour sessions, they offer a great way to get your team up to speed with Maven. And starting on the 27th of January, I will be running these courses in collaboration with Sonatype at a time better suited to Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be running the 'Testing and TDD for Java Developers' workshop in Melbourne on December 8-9, 2009.

This is a practical and pragmatic TDD/BDD workshop, where students spend two very full days writing a real Java application using Test-Driven Development and Behaviour-Driven Development techniques along with a variety of tools, including the latest features of JUnit 4.7, mocking and stubbing effectively with Mockito, BDD-style acceptance tests with easyb, Selenium and JWebUnit, database testing with DBUnit, Continuous Testing with Infinitest, and more!

You can find more details about the course, and book online, here. In addition, before October 31 the course is going for $1600 AUD, $250 off the list price of $1850. As usual, we are also offering government and group discounts as well - just ask.
