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 (_www.atalasoft.com_ (http://www.atalasoft.com/) ) from Northampton, MA. Founded in 2000, Atalasoft develops photographic and document imaging toolkits for Microsoft .NET developers. Pizza and drinks will be served complementary of Atalasoft (no donation this month). Prizes including quality tech books will be raffled -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
