Developer Testing and News and Training and /Duvall23 Mar 2009 08:04 am

My friend Andy Glover will be leading a two-day training class in Reston, VA on April 2nd and 3rd, 2009. If you haven’t attended any of Andy’s training sessions, you’re missing out. Having worked with Andy for several years, I can tell you first hand that he’s got unique combination of depth and breadth in technical skills…while making the material he’s covering extremely interesting. The two-day course contains 16 hands-on labs, so you’re not just walking out with a bunch of theory. Therefore, if you want to get up to speed with Groovy and Grails in a short amount of time, I highly recommend you register for this course.

Groovy is a dynamic language that runs on the Java platform. It makes programming easier and more powerful, while taking advantage of everything that’s been built up around Java. Grails is a framework, built on Groovy, to help you quickly develop web-based applications.

The Integrate Button website (from Paul Duvall’s book on Continuous Integration) recently published a screencast on using the Hudson Continuous Integration server - along with Subversion, Ant, HSQL and other tools. Click the image below to get started.

Continuous Integration Hudson screencast

The screencast demonstrates the following steps:

  • Checkout source files from the Subversion repository - locally
  • Run the automated build locally
  • Commit files to Subversion
  • Download, install and configure Hudson - from Hudson website or from IntegrateButton scripts
  • Make a code change (with error) and checkin files
  • Get notified of error, automatically, via Hudson
  • Fix code errors, commit change and see results in Hudson
