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
• Build their own Continuous Integration system for their JavaScript projects

Audience

• Developers
• IT Professionals
• DevOps Engineers
• Business Managers

Format of the course

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

This course focuses on practical implementation and tooling. It assumes good knowledge on theoretical principals (see DEVOPS course) as it focuses on newest tools and methods of implementing DevOps principles.

This instructor-led, live training in Belgium (online or onsite) is aimed at DevOp engineers who wish to optimize and simplify the CI/CD process with Docker and Jenkins.

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

• Automate code delivery and pipeline deployment with Jenkins.
• Build an application using Docker and Docker File.
• Configure authentication options to strengthen security.

This instructor-led, live training in Belgium (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.

This instructor-led, live training in Belgium (online or onsite) covers advanced Jenkins configurations, security, and scaling techniques, and is aimed at DevOps engineers and software architects who wish to gain expertise in customizing Jenkins for complex software projects.

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

• Optimize Jenkins for enterprise-level software projects.
• Implement advanced security measures.
• Build complex and scalable pipelines.
• Troubleshoot and maintain Jenkins installations effectively.

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

• Install and configure Jenkins for software automation.
• Create and manage Jenkins jobs for building and testing applications.
• Set up and customize automated pipelines for software deployment.

Jenkins is an open-source continuous integration (CI) tool written in Java. Maven is a build automation tool for Java projects. Together they can be used to trigger continuous builds that include, for example: the execution of JUnit tests whenever a new code is committed, deployment of these builds to production, and scheduling of these tasks at strategic times of the day, for example midnight. These tools and processes make up a DevOps approach to the development and deployment of software and are popular in Agile development.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will start with an introduction to DevOps, version control and automation scripting, and then move on to hands-on practice, learning how to install, configure and deploy Jenkins and Maven in a live lab environment.

Audience

• Developers
• System Administrators
