Jenkins for .Net Continuous Integration (CI) Training Course
After completing a code segment, developers typically integrate their work into an application, copy the application to a specific folder, execute the installer, and initialize the app to verify its functionality. This manual method lacks scalability, is tedious and error-prone, and fails to provide a mechanism for tracking changes throughout the process.
A superior approach involves automating this workflow through 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 hands-on, live-lab exercises, applying their newly acquired knowledge to various software development and deployment challenges at every stage. Active interaction between the instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-world case studies are discussed, and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved throughout the training. The content is particularly focused on .NET application development.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Jenkins for .NET application development
- Leverage Jenkins to automate the process of checking in and merging .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
