We'll also explore scaling practices that have been applied with other recent projects, and how those can and most likely will apply to our future offshore projects.

What does agile development look like to a typical developer? How do continuous integration and test driven development really work? We will answer these questions by following a developer's first day coding on an agile development team. This demonstration will be live and interactive. Attendees will receive step-by-step instructions to set up a continuous integration environment from scratch and reproduce the exercises on their own.

JBoss Seam is based on stateful session beans and it also uses AOP for its implementation. Neither would be possible without the use of AOP.

JUnit is a tool that is nearly universally used to support Test-Driven Development (TDD). While there are other tools, such as TestNG, none of have had a greater impact on unit testing or the support of TDD. JUnit4 offers significant changes to how we organize and write tests, and it also offers backwards compatibility with environments that don't yet support it.

Learning what it takes to move to JUnit 4 is more important ever, since the upcoming release of Eclipse 3.2 will have built-in support for JUnit 4.

Many people aren't familiar with the annotations or static imports in Java 5, so seeing a few exampleswill help them appreciate the changes JUnit 4 offers. It will also introduce them to some of the new features in Java 5.
