Subversion and Cruise Control |
Presented by Sky Sigal
The first segment will be an introduction to the Subversion source control system, listing its benefits, followed by an explanation on how to install and configure it for remote access, finishing with a demonstration of the basics you'll need to know in order to use on a daily basis.
The second segment will be an introduction to the CruiseControl.NET continuous integration/build server, demonstrating how it can be used to change build/integration from being an infrequent and sometimes difficult experience, to being an integral and easy part of your daily production routine.
If time permits we'll also touch upon the creation of custom MSBuild Tasks, custom CruiseControl Tasks, and the use of Subversion Triggers, in order to unite and extend the functionality of the above two systems.
