Accelebrate's on-site Jenkins training classes are taught at locations throughout the Vancouver area and other British Columbia venues.
Jenkins is a popular continuous integration tool written in Java that runs on top of servlet containers such as Apache Tomcat. Some of the Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools it supports include CVS, Subversion, Git, Perforce, and Clearcase, among others. The environment is highly scriptable, with support for Apache Ant, Apache Maven, shell scripts, and Windows batch commands. Some of the benefits of Jenkins include:
- Building/testing software projects continuously. Jenkins provides an easy-to-use continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to their projects, and for end users to obtain a fresh build. Development productivity is greatly increased by this automatic, continuous build process.
- Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, whether locally or remotely, including cron and procmail jobs. For example, you might use cron to generate regular e-mails that capture output, and it is up to you to look at them diligently and notice when a break has occurred. Jenkins stores these email outputs and makes it easy for you to immediately identify issues.
Accelebrate's Jenkins training courses teach students to implement continuous integration using Maven, Jenkins, and several choices of repository manager.
