In Essential Tools, we will look at two important classes of tools for developers: Version Control Systems and Built Automation Tools. We will look why we use such tools, discuss common concepts for those categories of tools, and then look at a specific and common example of each: Apache® Subversion® for version control, and Apache® Maven™ for build automation.

• Explain common concepts across tool categories
• Apply Apache Subversion for version control
• Use Apache Maven for build automation

• No deep prior experience is required, but basic computer and internet skills are helpful
