The buzz is all happening now here at AnDevCon and I just completed my workshop about using Apache Maven and related to tools for Android development pros and teams with an engaged audience of about 25 people.

Having worked with Apache Maven since the Maven 1 days, committing on various open source projects around Maven and Maven usage, using Nexus and Hudson and finally writing the Android chapter of Maven: The Complete Reference, got me into working with the great people at Sonatype. And now they put me into the spotlight. It has been great working with Tim, Jason, Emily, Brian, Juven and all the others and I am looking forward to many more great projects we do together in the future.
Thanks!

Links, details and more are all in the slides.
I hope you will like it.
Even though I ended up not making it JavaOne 2011 and watching it all via the interwebs I did prepare a presentation about Hudson together with Tim. He ended up doing a great job presenting without me and I will present about Hudson and CI with Android at AnDevCon anyway 
But in the build up to JavaOne I got interviewed about using Hudson, CI and more by the great folks of theserverside, a web site I have been reading since I started doing Java development. It turned out that I talked so much that two interview articles came out of it. You should read them both
Despite being considered immature and/or a waste of time by many, automated testing of Android applicationis possible. Arguably it should be in the repertoire of any serious Android developer, but today I am not going to delve into this discussion and talk about Robotium, Robolectric and so on. I am just going to show you how it just got a lot easier .
