We'll cover topics like "CI with Large Code Repositories", "Cross Platform Testing Coverage in 30 Minutes", and "The 8 Hour CI TView Details »
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 yView Details »

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. MaView Details »
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
with more traditional Web Services
technologies.
The problem is that it is difficult to sell

want to feel like they are innovating in the
