The Java Power Tools Bootcamp

Accelerate your development process!

Continuous Integration is a fundamental best practice of modern software development. In this course, you will learn how to set up an effective Continuous Integration environment that will reduce integration issues, improve code quality, and improve communication and collaboration between team members. You will also learn how Continuous Integration can act as a communications hub for your development team.

Outline

This course is an intensive 1-day workshop, based on extended material from the Java Power Tools Bootcamp, with a mixture of teaching and lab exercises. You will learn about how to design and implement an effective Continuous Integration build environment, as well as some invaluables tricks of the trade.

The course comes in two versions: one using Hudson, the leading open source CI tool, and one based on Bamboo, a commercial CI tool from Atlassian.

The basic course program is outlined here:

  • An introduction to Continuous Integration (CI) principles
  • What you need to implement CI
  • CI-friendly development practices
  • Setting up a CI server
  • Continuous Integration build strategies and best practices
  • CI notification strategies and techniques
  • Automated testing
  • Automated code quality audits
  • Automated reporting on project status and statistics
  • Integrating CI with your issue management system
  • Automated release strategies
  • Automated deployment
  • Using distributed builds to speed up the build process and to run environment-specific build jobs
  • Applying CI to large projects - using CI on with large teams or multi-team projects, with multiple development/integration SCM branches,...

Course Objectives

Students will come away from this workshop with a solid understanding of how to implement a Continuous Integration environment in their organisation. They wil be able 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. They will also be able to integrate CI with other tools in the development environment, such as issue tracking systems and source code browsers.

Course schedule

Currently, this course is offered exclusively as an on-site course. Please contact us for more details. 

General Information

Audience

This is a hands-on, practical course designed to teach specialised skills for real-world development situations. It is thus primarily aimed at a developer audience:

  • Java developers of all levels
  • Software architects
  • Technical project managers

Approach

The course is modular and flexible - depending on specific student needs and requests. Through our trainings, you benefit from the wide experience and architectural expertise of our team. We bring that experience to you in an highly interactive, intensely hands-on setting.

Assumptions

We assume participants have a reasonable understanding of Java development as well as a basic understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle.

Lab Work

All our courses are above all practical in nature. We believe that the best way to learn is by doing. So the course contains approximately 60% lab work.

Learning Resources

Each registrant will receive a copy of the student notes and lab solutions, a certificate of completion, and a CD containing all the tools covered in the course.

What students are saying about the Java Power Tools Bootcamp courses

  • "Best development course I have been on in a very long time. Will seriously improve our development/build/test lifecycle." - Neil, Software Developer
  • "One of the best and most useful courses I have attended. And they didn't even try to sell me anything!" - Jonathan, Developer
  • "Greatly enjoyed the course. Provided many useful insights on how to introduce improved ways of working and how to incorporate new technology with new and 'legacy' Java projects." - Derek, Technical Team Leader
  • "A well organized course. A 'must' course for serious Java developers. It's not only about the tools to be used in day-to-day development, but also about best methodologies and practices." - Apparao, Software Developer
  • "Gives a very good overall view of the Java development environment. Not just how to write Java code but the 'business end' - how to build, test, deploy, manage and monitor." - Tom, Software Developer
  • "This was a great all round introduction to best practices for development process optimization. I found all of the content very helpful and easy to understand. Many of the techniques and technologies will improve our processes a great deal." - Linton, Developer
  • "John has given a very well-run course, with plenty of demonstrations on bleeding-edge Java tools, which spans over project management, development techniques, testing and the build process." - Wayne Ng, Software Developer
  • "This bootcamp gives a good breakdown of some tools to aid in Java development. I can definitely see their use coming in handy." - Wayne, Systems Programmer
