Irish Continuous Integration gabfest

hudson-groovy

On June 10th, I’ll be giving a hip tutorial on CI at the International Conference on Agile Processes and eXtreme Programming in Software Engineering.

The tutorial will walk students (with or without hangovers) through a series of exercises on a project where an automated build system is created that facilitates compilation, testing, inspection, and deployment. This copasetic build system will then be plugged into a CI server (Hudson in this case, baby) and students will code a series of features using Agile techniques like developer testing, which will ultimately demonstrate how a Continuous Integration process reduces risk and improves software quality. Students will then toast to CI over yet another pint of Guinness for lunch!

All you need for this tutorial is a laptop with Java installed (Java 1.5, please)– I will provide everything else (Hudson, Ant, required libraries, etc) expect beer.

If you are in Ireland (or just feel like going there) the week of June 9th (and you have a high tolerance for alcohol), then you’ll want to come to the International Conference on Agile Processes and eXtreme Programming in Software Engineering, baby! Drop me a line if you are attending (or are located in Ireland)– if you are up for a round of Guinness, even better!

    Hi,

    Will this presentation be held in Galway as well, or just Limerick?

    Just in Limerick! What’s going on in Galway?

    Despite your racial stereotyping, not everyone in Ireland is a drunk.

    Apparently, not everyone in Ireland has a sense of humor, either, man!
