Meeting Abstract

Continous Integration Automation should be a key part of your tools, especially in team environments. Come learn a bit about about CI and a lot about CruiseControl.rb. You’ll see how easy it is to get started, and some of the great integration of metrics tools such as Flog, Heckle, and RCov… Don’t you want to say you flogged your code?

Continuous Integration

Come join us as we learn about Continuous Integration, why it’s important to your project, and a few of the options and supporting tools available to us Ruby Developers. We have Eric Pugh, of Open Source Connections in Charlottesville, coming in to share his experience and expertise on CI. Though I had heard of CruiseControl prior to working with Mr. Pugh, it was he that really sold me on the idea of CI and CruiseControl; that was back in the day when I was slinging Java code.
