Spillin’ the beans over Java Power Tools
My friend, John Ferguson Smart, recently authored Oreilly’s Java Power Tools, which Andrew Binstock has said is “a must-have reference for the bookshelf” of Java developers. I couldn’t agree more with Andrew and am still amazed John was able to amass so much valuable information into a veritable bible for software development.
I had the pleasure of chatting with John for JavaWorld’s Java Technology Insider before the book was published and we had a lot of fun discussing Maven 2, JUnit, Hudson, and a host of other tools. John’s got a great deal of knowledge regarding these and other tools– all you have to do is see that the book is 900+ pages to figure that out!
Have a listen to “John Ferguson Smart on Java Power Tools” and don’t forget to pick up a copy of his book– it’s a vade mecum for anyone serious about producing working software effectively.
