Presentation Abstract
Learn how automated builds can improve your development process by
making you always work with a green build instead of working toward one.
We will take a look at the different technologies and concepts available
for building a continuous integration environment and see how you can
leverage that technology for any build process using customized tasks.

Whether you are programmatically removing references or modifying
configuration files, there is a need to easily parse and manage XML.
While NAnt provides tools to perform basic peek and poke using Xpath,
they lack in the ability to add or remove XML elements. We will write a
customized NAnt task that gives us the ability to do just that. You will
also receive the source for other custom tasks that integrate with
source control and remove source control bindings from projects and
solutions.
