Jenkins: Soup to Nuts with PHP

[Ricky Wiens]

When: Tuesday, March 27th 6:00PM (pizza around 5:30)

Where: Tipping Canoe, 601-62 Albert Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba

What: Jenkins is an open source product from the Java community that
provides a slick web interface to build tools like Ant, Maven, or
whatever else you can imagine you would like to do as a regular "job"
on your code. This could include running unit tests when someone
commits code to your SCM, packaging up an artifact for deploying,
deploying code to various servers, sending messages, running SVN
statistics programs, virtually any automation you can think of.

In this talk Joel will install Jenkins, go through the configuration
and suite of tools you'll need, connect it to an SVN server, and set
up some jobs. By the end a demonstration of using Jenkins in practice
should be complete.

Who: Joel Klaverkamp graduated from the Computer Analyst / Programmer
course at RRCC in 2001 and proceeded to work for the City of Winnipeg,
Concordia Hospital, the WRHA and Manitoba eHealth before quitting
government work altogether to join the team at Tipping Canoe in 2008.
After a year of working there he was made Head of Development for
Quidco and a year after that relocated to London, UK to hire and train
a team of developers to bring the Quidco development in house. After
setting up the team and installing the Agile process, Joel moved back
to Winnipeg and now works once again as a software developer for
Tipping Canoe. There are many technologies Joel is familiar with, but
he always enjoy learning more. Joel also enjoys making music and
spending time with his family.

How: We'll start the meetup with Pizza and networking at around 5:30.
Joel will present at 6:00 and we will try to wrap up by around 7:00.
Feel free to stick around and chat after the presentation as well (we
may head to the King's Head after)
