In this article, based on chapter 7 of Agile ALM, contributor Hadi Hariri shows you how easy it is to use a build framework such as MSBuild or TeamCity to build .NET software. He also demonstrates how to add Continuous Integration (CI) with .NET applications to an Agile ALM CI ecosystem that can also integrate other artifact types, such as Java.

This video explains the concept of Continuous Deployment and how companies like kaChing, flickr and IMVU are deploying new code changes to production upto 50 times a day and as a result delivering huge amounts of value to their users.

NuGet is an open source developer focused package management system for the .NET platform intent on simplifying the process of incorporating third party libraries into a .NET application during development.

This video shows how you can use new tools like the Architecture Explorer to better understand and comprehend complex systems before making any changes to them. You will see how graphically modeling the code makes it easier to understand the impact of a potential change.

Rather than giving us a nice separation of concerns (assembly > namespace > class > method), there are times when OOP forces us to write crap – scattering, tangling and coupling our code. This video discusses the problem with conventional programming, gives a gentle introduction to AOP with .NET, shows how it works, and why you should be using it to eliminate crap code from your life.
