Here are links to presentations on content covered in the book. All are by Steve, unless otherwise stated.

  This was written before Ant1.7 had stabilized; it's not 100% accurate.

Library management

• Ivy
  Slides by Xavier Hanin.

Testing

• Testing
  General introduction to why testing is so important. A lecture for undergraduates.
• Beyond Unit Testing
  A general overview of functional testing tools that Java and Ant has. It omits Junit4 and TestNG though. handouts

Deployment

• When Web Services go Bad
  Everything that can go wrong with deployment, will. Some people viewing these slides think of it as an example of uncontrolled chaos, but the reality is this is what a project can end up like when it goes live, even if you try and stay in control. Sometimes constraints (committed timescales, original codebase) are not things the developers have any control over, and you are just left to pick up the pieces. Some people see this presentation and it is all to familiar to them. Welcome to the team!

• SmartFrog
  General SmartFrog overview; co-authored by Julio Guijarro.
• Distributed Testing with SmartFrog
  This talk shows how SmartFrog can deploy test suites alongside the application, and so be used for functional and load testing. Available as video; co-authored by Julio Guijarro.
