Builds are a fundamental part of any project. They are the bedrock of a project. Done well they make development and maintenance of a project easier. Done poorly and they can increase the time it takes to develop and maintain a project and even make development difficult. A well structured build will even help reduce defects by making continuous integration easier and by ensuring tests are run during each integration cycle. A good build will also aid in the deployment of a system.
In our next Jam we’ll look at build systems. Identify what makes a good build system, looking at how they might be structured for best practice. We’ll also look at various tools that support builds. Specifically we’ll look at tools that support continuous integration, prevent code duplication, bug detection and style checking amongst other tools. This Jam will include both a theoretical and a practical part. Some of the practices introduced in this session will form the basis to some future code jams.
So, dust your laptops off and come along. If you don’t have a laptop (or it doesn’t work) then come along anyway, we’ll work in pairs so there should be every opportunity for you to team up with someone. Don’t forget your laptop charger!
Drinks will be provided.
