Hi friends,
In my company,we want to start one commitee which will take care of improving the skills of the java resource pool that we have. The activities will include taking training sessions, maintaining the library of books, and some creative tasks which will help to run the organization with producing a better quality applications.
Please give me some ideas that i can implement through this group and build the confidence in my java teams. What exactly should i do? Please share the things that are being implemented in your organizations that we can have here.
Idea can be related to anything from how reducing the stress on the developer, how can skillset of employee developed? how we can MAKE BETTER USE OF THE GUYS ON BENCH?
Please discuss so that i can get more ideas.

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay Jamadade.
(JAVA Developer)

What type of company? ( do not mention brand name, only what the company does ) How many Java programmers on team? Does the team have an area and a library of books yet? Are there any ..... I saw a movie once, ( twice actually ) I can go look at that movie and I will be brought to deep, convulsive tears. The name of that movie is "The Making of:... And God Spoke.. That will be dismissed by some as beyond the scope of your question but I assure you totally, it is neither beyond the scope of post title nor is it irrelevant to your question.

Confidence building is something I do not spend a lot of time on. Show some effort for confidence building. If the coder cannot get effective code out with some assistance, then that coder will drain the entire team down to a paltry excuse and take you with it.

It is highly relevant how much experience your code team brings to the bench. With college trained ( or certified such as we see in Java ) it is immediately possible to get some code working in short order, which raises the question - what new practices?
