Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment by Sander Rossel

Key FeaturesIncorporate popular development practices to prevent messy codeAutomate your build, integration, release, and deployment processes with Jenkins, Git, and Gulp?and learn how continuous integration (CI) can save you time and moneyGain an end-to-end overview of Continuous Integration using different languages (JavaScript and C#) and tools (Gulp and Jenkins)Book DescriptionThe challenge faced by many teams while implementing Continuous Deployment is that it requires the use of many tools and processes that all work together. Learning and implementing all these tools (correctly) takes a lot of time and effort, leading people to wonder whether its really worth it. This book sets up a project to show you the different steps, processes, and tools in Continuous Deployment and the actual problems they solve.We start by introducing Continuous Integration (CI), deployment, and delivery as well as providing an overview of the tools used in CI. Youll then create a web app and see how Git can be used in a CI environment. Moving on, youll explore unit testing using Jasmine and browser testing using Karma and Selenium for your app. Youll also find out how to automate tasks using Gulp and Jenkins. Next, youll get acquainted with database integration for different platforms, such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL. Finally, youll set up different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects, and Jenkins pipelines to make branching easier.By the end of the book, youll have implemented Continuous Delivery and deployment from scratch.What you will learnGet to know all the aspects of Continuous Integration, Deployment, and DeliveryFind out how Git can be used in a CI environmentSet up browser tests using Karma and Selenium and unit tests using JasmineUse Node.js, npm, and Gulp to automate tasks such as linting, testing, and minificationExplore different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projectsPerform Continuous Delivery and Deployment using JenkinsTest and deliver a web APIAbout the AuthorSander Rossel is a professional developer with working experience in .NET (VB and C#, WinForms, MVC, Web API, and Entity Framework), JavaScript, Git, Jenkins, Oracle, and SQL Server.
