About The Version
The course explains both JUnit 3 and JUnit 4, since the older version is still in wide-spread use, but JUnit 4 has more advantages with its annotation-driven syntax. Exercises can be done in either style of JUnit.
Java Meetup Organized by Marakana
Marakana team organizes and runs the San Francisco Java Meetup - an interactive group of Java developers. In our monthly meetings, we discuss Java landscape from both technology and business angles. We often have great presentations by industry experts, group discussions, as well as hands-on sessions. If you are in San Francisco Bay Area, we encourage you to join the group and meet other Java developers.
