DZone Maven RefCard Released - No Fluff Just Stuff

DZone Maven RefCard Released

Posted by: Matthew McCullough on May 29, 2009

MavenRefCard.jpgI’m very pleased to announce that my DZone Maven RefCard was released this week ahead of schedule, and JavaLobby did a little introductory interview for the launch. A handful of folks contributed to the early alpha reviews and I want to acknowledge their inputs: Ken Sipe, Tim O’Brien, Chris Maki, Tim Berglund, and Jason van Zyl.

The timing was great, as I did a Mastering Maven talk at the San Diego Java Users Group (SDJUG) on Tuesday night. A handful of the attendees came with printed copies of the RefCard in hand!

I’m always looking for ways to contribute to the Maven community, and this was by far the most fun I’ve had building materials to promote this unique Convention over Configuration build tool.
