Pragmatic Project Automation - How to Build Deploy and Monitor Java Applications - Mike Clark Kartoniert (TB)

Forget wizards you need a slave--someone to do your repetitive tedious and boring tasks without complaint and without pay so you'll have more time to design and write exciting code. Indeed that's what computers are for. You can enlist your own computer to automate all of your project's repetitive tasks ranging from individual builds and running unit tests through to full product release customer deployment and monitoring the system.Many teams try to do these tasks by hand. That's usually a really bad idea: people just aren't as good at repetitive tasks as machines. You run the risk of doing it differently the one time it matters on one machine but not another or doing it just plain wrong. But the computer can do these tasks for you the same way time after time without bothering you. You can transform these labor-intensive boring and potentially risky chores into automatic background processes that just work.In this eagerly anticipated book you'll find a variety of popular open-source tools to help automate your project. With this book you will learn: * How to make your build processes accurate reliable fast and easy. * How to build complex systems at the touch of a button. * How to build test and release software automatically with no human intervention. * Technologies and tools available for automation: which to use and when. * Tricks and tips from the masters (do you know how to have your cell phone tell you that your build just failed?) You'll find easy-to-implement recipes to automate your Java project using the same popular style as the rest of our Jolt Productivity Award-winning Starter Kit books. Armed with plenty of examples and concrete pragmatic advice you'll find it's easy to get started and reap the benefits of modern software development. You can begin to enjoy pragmatic automatic unattended software production that's reliable and accurate every time.
