The next Java Power Tools Bootcamp is planned for Auckland, between the 11th and the 14th of August. This is the first Auckland session, and I'm certainly looking forward to it. Places are limited, so don't miss out!

And for those who missed out on the first Java Power Tools Bootcamp in Wellington, another bootcamp has been scheduled in Wellington for the 25th-28th of August.

The Java Power Tools Bootcamp is a comprehensive, innovative and hands-on workshop covering best-of-breed open source tools and techniques for Agile Development in Java. Learn how to optimize your development process, hone your programming skills and know-how, and ultimately produce better software. It covers key areas of software development and best practices, including:

• Agile Development Principles and Practices and Maven 2
• Unit and Integration testing with JUnit 4, Hamcrest, Selenium and so on.
• Code quality and documentation with tools like Checkstyle, PMD, FindBugs and Crap4J
• SCM and Continuous Integration with Subversion and Hudson
