(JV1) Squeezing the Best Out of Java
ALAN WILLIAMSON, JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL
Tuesday March 18, 2003 9:00 A.M.-9:50 A.M.
Java is a very powerful language, and while it offers the developer a rich array of tools, the fundamentals should not be overlooked. Improving your code at the core layer will result in great improvements in efficiency and fewer bugs. We'll look at the dos and don'ts of programming and learn lots of hints and tips that will accelerate your Java coding.
BIO: Alan Williamson is editor-in-chief of Java Developer's Journal. In his spare time, he holds the post of chief technical officer @ n-ary (consulting) Ltd, one of the first companies in the UK to specialize in Java at the server side.

(JV2) Testing Your Java the JUnit Way
KYLE GABHART, LEARNINGPATTERNS
Tuesday March 18, 2003 11:00 A.M.-11:50 A.M.
A critical measure of the success of software can be found in whether or not it executes successfully. Equally important, however, is whether or not that software does what it was intended to do. JUnit is an open-source testing framework that provides a simple means for developers to define their intentions for how their software should work. JUnit then provides test runners that process your intentions and verify that your code performs as intended. The result is software that not only works, but works in the correct way.
BIO: Kyle Gabhart is a senior mentor for LearningPatterns, a dynamic knowledge company providing consulting, training, and mentoring in emerging technologies. He is a prolific writer, with more than two dozen technical articles and books to his name. Kyle is highly regarded as a dynamic and enthusiastic public speaker with an innovative perspective on technology.
(JV3) Building/Deploying the Ant Way
KYLE GABHART, LEARNINGPATTERNS
Tuesday March 10, 2003 3:00 P.M. - 3:50 P.M.
A defined and easily repeatable process is one of the most necessary but often least-used aspects of good software development. A defined build process ensures that your project's software is built, deployed, and tested identically each time. Without this type of control and predictability, valuable time is often lost chasing down bugs that don't exist or rejecting solutions that were only partially implemented.
Apache's Ant is a powerful scripting tool that enables developers to define and execute routine software development tasks using the simplicity and extensibility of XML. Ant provides a comprehensive mechanism for managing software development projects, including compilation, deployment, testing and execution. Additionally, it is compatible with any IDE or operating system.
