I had to give an hour long talk on ant and our build process. For an hour long talk I would focus on how ant can do practically anything.
Our build process, for instance, gets and labels files in PVCS, Does a token replace on one of the pages to indicate the build to the user, builds the web application, starts and stops the application server (using Telnet), and deploys the app (using FTP). By starting off with the basics of XML and simple ant commands (like compiling a java file) and moving to more topics like executing other programs, you will gain their interest. When I moved to the advanced topics like FTP and Telnet, my audience was just blown away. --Jim --- "Buonassisi, Vincent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > have tried looking at: > > http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/resources.html > > there are some powerpoint presentations at the bottom of the page as > well as > articles on ant. > > cheers, > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kueser, Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, 12 September, 2002 08:07 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Recommendations for Ant talk? > > > I have been asked to give a presentation to a local Java Users' > Group.
