  1. (Or “Be the Build Script Hero”) Moving from Manual to Automated Builds

  2. A little about me • Web - joshuarogers.net • Twitter - @joshua_a_rogers • Email - jrogers@3-gis.com Software Engineer http://3-gis.com

  3. What? • An automated way of performing actions necessary to create a complete build. • Compiles • Documentation • Installers • Deployment • Testing

  4. Why? • The Bus Factor • When Bob the builder went on vacation • More reliable • When you get bored, you make mistakes • It Works on my Machine • Take that, denial. • People make mistakes • Forgotten files, forgotten syntax, etc...

  5. Why? (Cont) • Made QA more useful • Two weeks is a LONG time to assume • Archiving / BST testing • Where did that bug come from? • It isn't as forgiving as we are • Hours to setup code for a dev environment • Your time is far more valuable • Hardware is cheap. You are not.

  6. How? Ant Nant Maven Rake Make Batch Qbasic w/ Fortran, Lisp, and Haskell bindings

  7. Ant • Apache Ant • http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi • Java-based • Multiplatform • Doesn't mean it is just for Java • Ant scripts are in XML

  8. Ant (Cont) • Tasks • Individual commands • Targets • Group tasks (commands) together • Projects • Contain groups of targets

  9. Ant (Cont) <project name="hi" default="hello" description="Hello Builder"> <target name="hello" description="Ancient developer ritual."> <echo>Hello World.</echo> </target> </project>
