Global author, trainer and founder of Tech Skills Transformations LLC
Hi, I'm Brent Laster - a global trainer and book author, experienced corporate technology developer and leader, and founder and president of Tech Skills Transformations LLC. I've been working with and presenting at NFJS events for many years now and it is always exciting and interesting.
Through my decades in programming and management,I've always tried to make time to learn and develop both technical and leadership skills and share them with others Regardless of the topic or technology, my belief is that there is no substitute for the excitement and sense of potential that come from providing others with the knowledge they need to help them accomplish their goals.
In my spare time, I hang out with my wife Anne-Marie, 4 children and 2 small dogs in Cary, North Carolina where I design and conduct trainings and write books. You can find me on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/brentlaster), Twitter (@brentclaster) or through my company's website at www.getskillsnow.com.

3/4 Day Learn to use Gradle (and understand it) Workshop
Join me for this 3/4 day Gradle introduction workshop. We'll cover all of the basic things you need to know about using Gradle. Not only will you understand what Gradle is and why and how it works the way it does, but you'll get extensive hands-on practice so you'll be ready to use Gradle successfully in your own projects immediately after the workshop.
Participants should bring either a Windows or Mac laptop to work through the workshop exercises.

Building a Continuous Delivery Pipeline With Jenkins (and Gradle, Git, Gerrit, Artifactory, Sonar, Jacoco, and Docker)
Create your own model Continuous Deliver pipeline in a VM using Jenkins, Gradle, Git, Gerrit, Artifactory, Sonar, Jacoco, and Docker. Learn about each of these technologies in brief and see how to integrate them into Jenkins through plugins or scripting. See how to generate and access reports for running testcases, pass/fail for code metrics, coverage info, etc. Learn how to deploy a webapp with a database backend in multiple Docker containers for functional or UAT tests. Learn Jenkins techniques to pass information, environments, and artifacts between jobs in the pipeline.
Important setup required before the workshop:
You will need a laptop for this workshop with the applications as discussed below.
In this workshop, we use a preconfigured VM which requires Virtualbox to be running on your system. Please see https://github.com/brentlaster/conf/blob/master/rwx2016/JDP-Setup.pdf and follow the directions there. (Note: You do not need to do the part about changing the timezone on the VM since RWX 2016 will be in the EST timezone.)
As noted in the PDF, the VM can be downloaded from: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/bclconf/CDPipeline/RWX_2016.ova
Please be aware that this VM is ~6G in size and will require significant time to download. Free space of 20G (prior to the download to allow for the download, running the VM, etc.) is recommended on your system for best performance.
