"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.
