This instructor-led, live training in Chicago (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to use Jenkins 2 to build pipelines that automate the process of moving an application from development to production. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins 2.

When developers finish writing a piece of code, they often integrate their code into an application, copy the application into a folder, run the application installer, then initialize the application to check whether it runs as expected. This manual approach does not scale very well, is tedious, very error-prone and offers no mechanism for tracking changes during the process. A better approach would be to automate the process using Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration refers to the processes, tools and infrastructure needed to automate the building, deployment and testing of software applications. In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to transform a traditional, manual (or semi-manual) approach to software deployment into an agile, Continuous Integration (CI) one using Jenkins. Participants carry out a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises throughout the course, applying their new knowledge to various software development and deployment problems every step of the way.

Jenkins is an open-source continuous integration (CI) tool written in Java. Maven is a build automation tool for Java projects. Together they can be used to trigger continuous builds that include, for example: the execution of JUnit tests whenever a new code is committed, deployment of these builds to production, and scheduling of these tasks at strategic times of the day, for example midnight. These tools and processes make up a DevOps approach to the development and deployment of software and are popular in Agile development. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will start with an introduction to DevOps, version control and automation scripting, and then move on to hands-on practice, learning how to install, configure and deploy Jenkins and Maven in a live lab environment.
