Jenkins for .Net Continuous Integration (CI) Training Course
After developers complete a section of code, they typically integrate it into the application, copy the application to a folder, run the installer, and then initialize the application to verify it functions as intended. This manual method does not scale effectively, is tedious, highly prone to errors, and lacks any mechanism for tracking changes throughout the process.
A more efficient approach involves automating the 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) model using Jenkins. Throughout the course, participants engage in a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises, applying their new knowledge to various software development and deployment challenges at every stage. Interaction between the instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-world scenarios are discussed, and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved during the training. The training places particular emphasis on .Net application development.
By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Jenkins for .Net application development
- Use Jenkins to automate the process of checking in and merging .Net source code into a code repository
- Use Jenkins to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and deploying an application to a release server
- Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools such as issue trackers and
