Course SummaryThis course introduces Ant and how to use it for test-driven Java application development. A single application of increasing complexity, followed throughout the class, shows how an application evolves and how to handle the problems of building and testing. Coverage of large-projects, Ant’s advanced features, and the details and depth of the discussion-all unavailable elsewhere is included in the course. Advanced topics include how to manage large projects, Library management, Enterprise Java Continuous integration, Deployment, writing new Ant tasks and data types.
