Jenkins for .Net Continuous Integration (CI) Training Course
When developers complete a piece of code, they often manually integrate it into an application, copy the application to a folder, run the installer, and then launch the application to verify that it behaves as expected. This manual method does not scale well, is tedious, highly prone to errors, and lacks any mechanism for tracking changes throughout the process.
A more effective approach is to automate these activities using Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration refers to 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 will complete a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises, applying their new knowledge to real-world software development and deployment challenges at every stage. Interaction between the instructor and participants is actively encouraged. Real-world scenarios will be discussed, and specific issues and questions will be addressed and resolved during the training. The content is particularly focused on .Net application development.
By the end 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
