The Java Power Tools bootcamp is an intense 4-day hands-on workshop covering some of the best open source tools for Java development on the market. The course takes you on a in-depth guided tour of some of the best open source Java tools, showing how you can use them individually and together to write code better and faster, and have fun while your doing it!

The Java Power Tools Bootcamp is offered at a price of $2990, or $2690 before the end of April.

In this course, you will:

• Broaden your horizons! Learn how to optimize your builds with Maven 2, or just simplify your projects by using Maven's dependency management features, even from Ant.
• Learn how to use Test-Driven Development and Behaviour-Driven Development practices to write better, more effective unit tests. Learn how to write fast, isolated unit tests using mock objects. And learn how to get the most out of unit testing tools like JUnit 4.4, DBUnit, Selenium, and more.
• Learn how to encourage good development practices and coding standards with tools like Checkstyle, PMD, and FindBugs. Automate your documentation and generate UML class diagrams in your javadoc. See how you can use all these tools to hone your development team, and to make your code cleaner, more reliable and easier to maintain.
• Learn how to get the most out of your version control system. Find out about best practices in release management, merging, branching and tagging, and get up close and intimate with Subversion.
• And learn how to set up a Continuous Integration environment to ensure that your developers work together smoothly and efficiently. See how a CI tool like Hudson can boost your productivity, cut down on bugs, and make your end user happier!

Throughout the course, you will learn invaluable tips and tricks not only on the individual tools, but also on how they can work together to streamline your development process.

You can register online - but hurry - to ensure an optimal learning environment, places are strictly limited.
