Implementing a continuous integration system can be much more complicated than just installing a CI product and letting it run. Most CI products are aimed squarely at the small team and need to be tweaked to scale for larger teams. We'll start this class with a generic CI installation then show you how to scale your CI tools across machines and operating systems while running extended, industrial strength test suites. We'll cover topics like "CI with Large Code Repositories", "Cross Platform Testing Coverage in 30 Minutes", and "The 8 Hour CI T

English is a poor programming language. That's why we don't use it to write code... but why do we use it to write specifications? Specifications are an attempt to describe the function of code. Anytime we can move that description from English and into something more like code, the more accurate our descriptions are. There are a number of tools, ranging from JUnit to Selenium to Fitnesse, that can be used to specify a program's requirements. Come learn how to make better change requests within your company and extract better requirements from y

Over the past several years, I've been mentoring developers at IBM, Aetna, CSG, Echostar, Comverse and other corporations on best practices and efficiencies in using Open Source Source Code Control systems such as Subversion. Now, I?m helping some of these same companies make the absolutely painless sea-change to the Git open source distributed version control system (DVCS). Git incentivizes individual developer contributions and innovation, and brings improved dynamics, agility, and efficiencies to the way teams interact with their product cod

Maven is a comprehensive project info and build tool, often referred to as the next generation version of Ant. It introduces the beneficial "Convention over Configuration" mantra to the build-script world, allowing build scripts just 5 lines long to compile .java files, build standardized JARs, and produce a comprehensive project web site with change logs, cross referenced HTML source code, and more.
Maven has been on the Java build tools scene for quite a number of years, but the adoption rate in enterprises is now going through the roof. Ma

Agile was never intended to be a set of steps a team could follow, but rather a set of guiding principals. Great teachers know that beginners need steps to get them started, so we'll start you out with a set of steps you can use to get your team rolling quickly on an Agile path. Then we'll show you when to throw those steps away before they ruin your team. The same 10 steps can take you to success and failure. Knowing when to apply each is the difference between successful agile and blind adherence. Come learn the difference.

There is tremendous interest in
REpresentational State Transfer (REST) as
an architectural style for building scalable,
flexible, information-driven architectures in
the Enterprise. The success of the Web has
caught our attention in the face of
increased complexity and many failures

technologies.
The problem is that it is difficult to sell

Martin Fowler says that architecture is anything that's hard to change later. Tracer bullets is a development technique used to validate your design and technology systems early in your product's life cycle without writing disposable code. We do light-weight, up front design, create a system of mock objects, and add appropriate automated tests. Finally , we incrementally add functionality to the system until it's ready to roll. This iterative design process lets you put a "working" copy of the application in front of your users before you have
