Building and deploying applications with NAnt and MSBuild in Vienna, Virginia
I will be presenting at the WinProTeam Vienna .NET Users Group on 3/1/2006 at 6pm.
We use NAnt and CruiseControl.NET for all of our products and client projects. The power of a continuous build for improved quality, rapid feedback and engaging your customer is enormous! The arrival of MSBuild and its integration into the Visual Studio suite of tools adds another great option to your possible build solutions. If you are still building and deploying your application on a developer's workstation, think again.
Here is the presentation blurb:
"Automate your build, quality assurance and
deployment process. NAnt is a free, open source tool
that provides a simple extensible XML-based format for doing all sorts of things
and can even be customized! See how to: separate your development, staging and
production environments - automate your test runs - archive build versions -
develop custom NAnt tasks - write C# script for
NAnt. MSBuild is Microsoft's response to
the need for an XML-based build tool that is an integral part of the new Visual
Studio 2005 platform. Come learn how to use these tools and the
enormous difference it can make to the quality of your software
development."
