This month's presentation will be by Bill Bither  on: 
Creating  Repeatable and Robust Automated Software Builds   
A typical enterprise  software project consists of many assemblies, 
dependencies, tests, and processes  required for the product build.  A source control 
system, unit testing, and  automated build script establishes the building 
blocks for a concept called  Continuous Integration.  Continuous Integration is 
the process where any  change to a project's codebase immediately initiates a 
new build, reporting on  the success or failure of the build.  In this 
discussion, I will present an  overview of these topics followed by a tutorial on the 
steps involved in  automating the build of a typical .NET solution, then 
setting-up a continuous  integration server to run these build scripts when changes 
are detected in the  source control system.  Various open source tools will be 
leveraged in this  presentation including NAnt, CruiseControl.NET, and NUnit. 
 
Bill  Bither is the president and founder of Atalasoft from Northampton, MA.  
Founded in 2000, Atalasoft  develops photographic and document imaging
