Learn how
to utilize popular FREE open source developer tools in your
projects!
Build your

Tie it
all together with Cruise Control.NET automated builds! |
|

There are many indispensable tools available to streamline your
development and provide new opportunities for effectiveness and
efficiency for you as a developer. The great thing is, many of these
tools are FREE, allowing you to take advantage of them! Let's
explore several of these open source offerings.
Learn how NAnt can be used to realize
the dream of automated builds and release preparation. NUnit is a
simple but effective tool for running automated unit tests, as well
as providing ways of testing your application that you may not have
thought of before. We will walk through the setup and basic usage of
Cruise Control.NET, an automated build tool implementing the eXtreme
Programming rule of Continuous Integration. Plus, no project is
complete without some kind of source control. Learn how to set up
and use Subversion, successor of CVS, and an excellent open source
solution to your source control problem. |
