If you are in Ireland (or close enough to get there easily!) the week of June 9th, then you’ll want to come to the International Conference on Agile Processes and eXtreme Programming in Software Engineering as I’ll be giving a tutorial on Continuous Integration!

The tutorial will walk students through a series of exercises on a project where an automated build system is created that facilitates compilation, testing, inspection, and deployment. This build system will then be plugged into a CI server (Hudson in this case) 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 a pint of Guinness!

If this sounds like a blast to you, then register today! If you plan on attending, drop me an email and I look forward to meeting you!
