WHAT:

Go Agile with Git Webinar Series

This free, three-part series focuses on how to manage Git workflows, continuous branching and merging in Agile software development. It explores the power of automated and human-based code reviews using Gerrit and Jenkins, and provides best practices and practical examples for developers using Git.

Part 1: Go Agile with Git, Workflows, Branching and Merging

Tues., Jan. 15, 2013, 10 – 11 a.m. PST

Agile gets projects into the loop faster. Due to its flexibility, Git lends itself to team-oriented, rapid software iterations without losing control on the quality of the code. Best practices for managing Git workflow, and continuous branching and merging in Agile software development with be outlined, as well as the role of master repositories and how to integrate Gerrit and Jenkins with Git

Part 2: Go Agile with Git, Peer Programming and Code Reviews

Tues., Jan. 29, 2013, 10 – 11 a.m. PST

Code review increases code collaboration and speeds software delivery. Initially developed by Google, Gerrit is the leading code review for Git, providing unprecedented flexibility to define collective code ownership. Integrating Gerrit with Jenkins build servers automates code validation and enforces quality standards throughout Agile development processes. This webinar will cover: code review basics – concepts, goals and roles; code review workflows and governance; and, code review automation with Gerrit and Jenkins.

Part 3: Go Agile with Git, Hands-On Lab with Gerrit and Jenkins

Tues., Feb. 12, 2013, 10 – 11 a.m. PST

This webinar illustrates a real-world implementation of the "commit often/validate/review" Git code-loop and code reviews for promoting code quality and ownership with Gerrit and Jenkins. It details a walk-through, "step-by-step" of workflow execution, including peer reviews and automatic code verification using Jenkins. Attendees will learn how Git, Gerrit and Jenkins work in concert, and see clear examples of "approval" code review and commit, and "failed" code review and commit scenarios. Using CollabNet TeamForge (that attendees can download for free), Milanesio will present workflows step-by-step, so participants can implement and experience within their own lab.
