Main Talk (Approximately 1 hour): Continuous Integration: More than just a toolset - Jay Harris
Does your team spend days integrating code at the end of a project? Continuous Integration can help. Using Continuous Integration will eliminate that end-of-project integration stress, and at the same time will make your development process easier. But Continuous Integration is more than just a tool like CruiseControl.Net or TeamCity; it is a full development process designed to bring you closer to your mainline, increase visibility of project status throughout your team, and to streamline deployments to QA or to your client. Find out what Continuous Integration is all about, and what it can do for you.
Speaker Bio
Jay is a code wrangler, software consultant, and president of Arana Software. He has been developing on the web for over 15 years, since the Blink tag lured him away from Visual Basic 3 in 1995. With a career focus on user experience, he has a passion for practices that improve quality and usability, and is an expert in continuous integration and in performance analysis and optimization. Jay is also an active contributor and speaker in the developer community, a Microsoft MVP in C#, ASPInsider, INETA Mentor, and an organizer of many conferences and user groups in the Ann Arbor area.
Originally from Rochester, New York, he and his wife, Amy, have lived in Michigan since 2003. They like Michigan, but still consider themselves tourists, and probably always will.
A light dinner will be served at 5:30, followed by the presentation at 6pm. If you're interested in attending, please RSVP by Saturday, April 14 to MDSM Meetup so we can get an accurate number for food and seating. If you require a parking tag for the ramps behind the College of Engineering building, please let us know that in your RSVP as well.
Meeting Room
The meeting room will be in room C-124, in the College of Engineering Building on WMU's Parkview Campus (driving directions). The building is organized into 7 sections, lettered A-G, where Section A is closest to US-131 and Section D is the central hub. The meeting room is on the the first floor. You can park in either ramp, but we recommend getting as close to the center of the building as you can.
Single-event parking tags are required for the ramps behind the building, and will be available for anyone who needs one (please park and see Mark Gilbert or Mike Eaton).
