Course Description

This is a comprehensive course designed to show how to setup and run a Jenkins CI server starting with continuous inspection (build, test and analysis) all the way through to continuous deployment. This course provides a strong foundation for implementing continuous inspection, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and even continuous deployment at your company or studio. In order to ikeep the course short and to-the-point, several decisions were made in order to provide a complete path from CI to CD.
The pipeline created in this course consists of the following:
Jenkins CI server installed and configured on WindowsGit as the source control systemJava as the main programming language of build projectsMaven as the build toolFindbugs, PMD, and Checkstyle as the static code analysis toolsTomcat as the deployment serverSetup Jenkins in AWS using LightsailUse EC2 Plugin for Auto-scalingThis set of tools provides a comprehensive, end-to-end implementation continuous deployment pipeline. Jenkins can be installed on many operating systems and supports a myriad of tools and technologies -- which means, this course provides tremendous value to those comfortable or interested in other operating systems and/or technologies. Course OutlineIntroduction provides an overview for the course, which leas to the Core Concepts for Jenkins. This provides a foundation for the remainder of the course.
Installation provides step-by-step instructions on how to setup Jenkins and all the related tools specifically on Windows. The same principles are applicable to other operating systems as well.
The Basics provides a first look at Jenkins at work with a very simple "freestyle" project. This allows us to learn the Jenkins interface and the key features it provides.
After that, we dive into Maven Projects specifically -- since Jenkins natively understand Maven and thus provides special features for Maven projects.
Jenkins can do so much more than simply building. In Test & Quality, we hook up a standard set of unit testing and quality analysis tools for Java projects. Then, we use that information to affect the build status based on established standards.
We also cover how to use Jenkins as an artifact repository which is used to store the build artifacts, like jars and wars, after successful builds. This is particularly useful when integrating Jenkins with other tools in a more comprehensive software delivery strategy.
Then, we bring everything together for Deployment to a running Tomcat server. Don't worry, I'll walk you through the complete setup and configuration to work seamlessly with Jenkins!
Finally, no course would be complete without talking about Security. In this final chapter, we setup Jenkins to allow users to login and only see their projects.
Course FeaturesPresentations provide audio/video training of conceptual ideas in each major area or introduction of new concepts.
Screencasts provide a video of the instructor's computer system with any actions, commands, or screens displayed and narrated. There are several hours of screencat video content -- it makes up the vast majority of the course. Any command line based screencast will include a command listing in the lecture downloads.
Who this course is for:
Developers, software engineers, and programmers wanting to avoid "it works on my machine" syndromeIT professions looking to implement continuous inspection through continuous deployment at their companyIT management that wants to have a deeper understanding of Jenkins and other DevOps conceptsDevOps (Development/Operations) professional looking at Jenkins as a build tool or as part of a larger software delivery pipeline

Excellent course. Very detailed and well explained

By STANLEY N Malinowski on 11/7/2020

Yes so far so good! I have an analytical background, but no development experience. But so far I am tracking!

By Samuel Urban on 11/7/2020

it was a good curse, with an instructor with amply knowledge on the subject.
the only thing was many problems on use the maven and java tools.

By Wally Bowles on 10/7/2020

I got Jenkins up and running builds with this course but with a lot of research on my own. Instructor is clear with each lesson and stays on topic. As a developer I got what I wanted, but there are some outdated parts, included 3 or 4 lessons devoted to plugins that are no longer supported. The AWS Lightsail was the newest part of the course, but it is mostly a listen and watch section because it calls for items that most students do not have, like a spare domain name sitting around. I am going to YouTube to get info on a topic that was not covered, Jenkinsfile/Pipeline. I was glad I was on Windows for this course.

Amazing course, with brief explanations and step to step guide.. As a beginner to CI/CD this course gave me brief insight of process and techniques. Thank you

Great start.

Thus far the course is very intriguing and making me want to learn more

Really good for Jenkins beginner

By Jan Ott on 8/13/2020

I would have liked a little more information on the installation for Mac. Besides this all is great! (Jason has a new specific course for Mac)

By Gagan Bhatia on 8/4/2020

Awesome. I learnt more with this. Thank you so much :)

By Steve Hyde on 7/24/2020

I found this course to be rather too simplistic, I would have asked for a refund however I was outside of the refund period. The instructor was however good for the material that was covered.
In order to see a significant improvement on my rating a section on Jenkins files would need to be included, because as of right now the course title should really be "Fully automate builds to deployment with maximum manual effort".

By Mallikarjunarao on 7/17/2020

its a good content & having sound knowledge & experience on Jenkins.
