                In this session you will learn about practices beyond what well know methodologies prescribe. While we reemphasize some popular practices, we will also discuss other often overlooked, but important practices - practices that contribute to success of projects.&#xD;

				With MacOS X and the incoming Windows Vista, rich client applications have never looked so attractive. User interfaces are slowly evolving towards appealing 2.5D and 3D worlds. Although this might seem to be a daunting task, Java offers all the tools you need to let you easily create slick and modern GUI. &#xD;

				Rich client application development using Java can be intimidating giving the vast flexibility in application design and structure.  It also can be frustrating to create the large number of support services (persistence, menus, event and job frameworks) that a large scale rich client applications needs.  The Eclipse Rich Client Platform is one project attempting to solve these issues by providing a core infrastructure that not only provides the day to day services a rich client application developer needs, but also providing a suggested path to guide you down the road of designing your application.  This presentation introduces both the Eclipse RCP and the tools provided by the Eclipse IDE that assist developers in writing RCP apps.&#xD;

				No one will argue the positive affects JUnit has had on the quality of thousands of Java applications around the world. JUnits simplicity and ease of use ushered in a whole new era of code quality; however, as many developers have found, its simplicity has also limited its use. TestNG was designed from the ground up to overcome some of JUnits limitations; moreover, TestNGs features make it a great tool to complement your JUnit tests. &#xD;
