This instructor-led, live training Cedar Rapids (online or onsite) is aimed at developers or DevOps engineers who wish to build automation pipelines using CI/CD practices with Python.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary development environment to start building CI/CD pipelines with Python.
• Build automated pipelines for testing and publishing Python packages using Travis-CI.
• Automate the deployment of containerized applications with Docker and Heroku.

Continuous Integration (CI) is a development practice wherein developers merge changes in their code as often as possible in order to detect and locate errors quickly.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn the basics of Continuous Integration for JavaScript as they step through setting up a Continuous Integration process for a JavaScript project.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of Continuous Integration

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This instructor-led, live training in Cedar Rapids (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to use Jenkins 2 to build pipelines that automate the process of moving an application from development to production.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins 2.
• Adopt a script approach to automating every step of the software deployment process.
• Automatically generate application builds when software is checked into a version control system.
• Automatically kick off the compiling, testing, and packaging of a software application.
• Quickly respond to notifications and reports when things go wrong.
• Install additional plugins to extend Jenkins.

When developers finish writing a piece of code, they often integrate their code into an application, copy the application into a folder, run the application installer, then initialize the application to check whether it runs as expected. This manual approach does not scale very well, is tedious, very error-prone and offers no mechanism for tracking changes during the process.

A better approach would be to automate the process using Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration refers to the processes, tools and infrastructure needed to automate the building, deployment and testing of software applications.

In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to transform a traditional, manual (or semi-manual) approach to software deployment into an agile, Continuous Integration (CI) one using Jenkins. Participants carry out a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises throughout the course, applying their new knowledge to various software development and deployment problems every step of the way. Interaction among the instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-world cases are discussed and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved throughout the training. The training is especially focused on .Net application development.
 
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins for .Net application development
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of checking in and merging .Net source code into a code repository
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of downloading, compiling and deploying an application to a release server
• Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools such as issue trackers and

Audience

• .Net developers
• Build engineers
• QA engineers
• Project managers
• Release managers
• DevOps engineers

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
