Jenkins for .Net Continuous Integration (CI) Training Course
After developers complete coding a feature, they typically merge their changes into the application, copy the build to a specific folder, run the installer, and then launch the application to verify its functionality. This manual workflow is difficult to scale, tedious, highly prone to errors, and lacks effective mechanisms for tracking changes throughout the process.
A superior alternative is to automate this workflow using Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration encompasses the processes, tools, and infrastructure required to automate the building, deployment, and testing of software applications.
In this instructor-led live training (available onsite or remotely), participants will learn how to transition from a traditional, manual (or semi-manual) software deployment approach to an agile Continuous Integration (CI) methodology using Jenkins. Throughout the course, participants engage in a series of hands-on live lab exercises, applying their newly acquired knowledge to resolve various software development and deployment challenges at every stage. Interaction between the instructor and participants is actively encouraged. Real-world scenarios are discussed, and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved during the training sessions. The course places particular emphasis on .NET application development.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Jenkins for .NET application development
- Leverage Jenkins to automate the checking in and merging of .NET source code into a repository
- Utilize Jenkins to automate the downloading, compiling, and deployment of applications to a release server
- Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools, such as issue trackers and others
Audience
- .NET developers
- Build engineers
- QA engineers
- Project managers
- Release managers
- DevOps engineers
Format of the Course
- A blend of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice
