Sonar Half-Day Workshop

You've heard about Sonar and are intrigued by its features. It can analyze code in both a static and dynamic manner making aggregated sense of the complex figures gathered by the underlying tools such as CPD, FindBugs, Cobertura, Checkstyle, and many more. You believe your team can benefit from using it to gather metrics and to facilitate code reviews. But how do you get started? The answer is easy. Through a hands on workshop that has you installing, running, and reviewing code.

This workshop is purely hands on and will give attendees first-hand experience of the setup, configuration, and use of Sonar to analyze Java and Groovy code. Attendees will install Maven, Gradle and then Sonar and proceed to analyze an open source project, all during the course of this three hour class.
