15 Seconds : Using Open Source .NET Tools for Sophisticated Buil. UppercuT - The Insanely Easy to Use Automated Build Framework. UppercuT is the insanely easy to use Automated Build Framework! Automated Builds as easy as (1) solution name, (2) source control path, (3) company name for most projects!!! Uppercut was recently called NAnt for the masses! UppercuT is for developers who want a powerful build framework without a lot of set up work. UppercuT is for anyone who needs a standard way of building applications across an entire organization. UppercuT is for anyone who wants to concentrate on just writing code. What can UppercuT do for you? Compiles your application (what you get for F5 in Visual Studio) Versions the local code - VersionBuilder Runs your unit tests Runs NCover Runs NDepend (you will need a license - does not come with UppercuT) Creates environment configuration files (using ENV.settings files and config.template files) - ConfigBuilder Packages your application for deployment Can create environment specific deployment scripts - DeploymentBuilder Along the way, it can run custom tasks for you.
Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo's Blog - NAnt Starter Series. Aaquagua!: NAnt. I needed a quick way to tell what operating system the NAnt build file was running under. Why, one might wonder? Let's say you are installing a web application under IIS and you need the ASP.NET extension to be enabled. If you are wondering what that means, it's simple, with the introduction of IIS 6 (under Windows 2003), individual extensions (such as ASP or ASP.NET) can be enabled or disabled by the system administrator.
So back to the why, you need to install a ASP.NET web application under IIS but to make things more complicated (as I often like to do), the ASP.NET extension might be disabled. So, you create a NAnt build file to do all the copy/setup steps for your web application installation (if you don't know what NAnt is, check out my other post titled Getting Started with NAnt - .NET Build Tool) but now you need to check if the ASP.NET extension is enabled. The complet NAnt build file to test the operating system should look like: Continuous Integration with CruiseControl.net. Free source code.
Download source - 5.65 KB Introduction I am going to talk to you about continuous integration; some people prefer the term continuous build. I will not be going into depth about integrating entire systems but will concentrate on the integration of individual classes and assemblies that make up one distinct application. CruiseControl.net is the application which I will be discussing in particular. At its most basic, it can be used simply to create automatic builds which can at least prove that the application will compile on a development server and not just on the developer’s own desktop.
Setting up continuous integration for a project does take some time and effort but the end result is that you can be much more lazy: just let the automated process do it all for you. Background So why would you want to implement continuous integration in the first place? Now you can begin to see the real value of this automation. Using the Code N.B.

Well, for the last 2 months I have been using Mutt as my primary email client, and I have not missed gmail at all!! I spend the majority of my day inside a shell based environment, and a large majority of my workflow/tooling has been heavily modded to allow me to do the majority of my computer related activities from a shell. I edit all my code in vimI manage keychain entries using the command line clientsI have a easy to customize automation/expansion library that allows me to add new shell automation tasks easilyFor the rare times that I use twitter, I use a vim plugin for that! I compose blog entries in vim You get the point! I have occassionally messed around with using links as a browser client. In reality, between chrome+vimium or firefox+vimperator, I have my mouseless browsing covered. Focused, specific tools that do one job and do it well This post is mostly for my own journalling purposes, but I am sharing it in the event that it proves useful to others.
