Version control, continuous integration, metrics and static code analysis and more.

In this session we will explore the Java tools, techniques and algorithms that enable us to filter, classify, relate and discover patterns in our data that might not immediately obvious. With the emergence of social networking applications a great deal of data and hidden connections that can be leveraged to build better and smarter applications.
