Real-world cases are discussed and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved in class.

This instructor-led live training in Cape Town (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to use Jenkins 2 to build pipelines that automate the process of moving an application from development to production.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins 2.
• Adopt a scripting approach to automating every step of the software deployment process.
• Automatically generate application builds when software is checked into a version control system.
• Automatically kick off the compiling, testing, and packaging of a software application.
• Quickly respond to notifications and reports when things go wrong.
• Install additional plugins to extend Jenkins.

Upon completing code development, developers typically merge their work into an application, copy the resulting build to a folder, execute the installer, and initialise the application to verify its functionality. This manual workflow is not scalable, labour-intensive, highly prone to errors, and lacks mechanisms for tracking changes throughout the process.

A superior approach involves automating these tasks through Continuous Integration (CI). CI 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 traditional, manual (or semi-manual) software deployment methods to an agile Continuous Integration (CI) model using Jenkins. Throughout the course, attendees engage in a series of practical, live-lab exercises, applying their newly acquired knowledge to resolve various software development and deployment challenges. The session encourages active interaction between the instructor and participants, with real-world scenarios discussed and specific technical issues addressed and resolved. The training places a particular emphasis on .NET application development.
 
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins for .NET application development
• Utilise Jenkins to automate the check-in and merging of .NET source code into a repository
• Leverage Jenkins to automate the downloading, compilation, and deployment of applications to a release server
• Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools, such as issue trackers

Audience

• .NET developers
