Pragmatic Project Automation: How to Build, Deploy, and Monitor Java Apps Review by D. Hanuska
Build Automation Quick Overview
I grabbed this book from the shelf in our Atlassian office few months ago. I just finished reading it this morning. This book is very well written and easy to read.
I read it most on the train commuting to work. My trip only takes 20 minutes, so you could think "what can you possibly read and learn in 20 minutes?" Well not a lot, but enough to get you started. The way the book is written makes it easy to continue reading after an interruption.
Book is structured in a way that leads you though the processes in software development: building (testing), releasing, installation, deployment and monitoring. Each process is described and the ways of automation are discussed in detail.
I consider myself a senior software engineer but this book had several points that made me say: "That would be nice to have in our build!" This book will save you lots of time and lots of manual work, thanks to automation. I can guarantee you'll get inspired by this book.
I'm happy I found this book on our office shelf. Now, I'll put it back so others at Atlassian can read it as well...
