Learning Jenkins

- [Michael Jenkins] In software development and system administration, automating regularly occurring tasks saves time and helps you work more efficiently. Jenkins is a framework that you can use to manage all types of automation including software builds, application testing, deployments and much more. Hi, I'm Michael Jenkins, and I'm a computer engineer with a background in system administration and process automation. In this course, I'll introduce you to Jenkins, an application that's been in my toolbox for years.

I'll start by sharing some of the reasons why you might consider using Jenkins to automate your next project, and then move on to familiarize you with the Jenkins interface. I'll walk you through installing Jenkins, and then we'll dive into configuring jobs, managing artifacts and adding additional functionality with plug-ins. We'll also explore advanced configurations that use source code repositories, parameters and schedules. And finally, we'll discuss the advanced features in Jenkins, including an example of creating pipelines from code.

Are you ready to get automating? Great, let's start learning Jenkins.
