Agile

The last piece of the build that I had to add to CruiseControl.NET for our new project is the installer. We want to be able to drop a full installer to the clients every two weeks, so we have to build the installer first. It seems backwards, but I think it's the way to go. One ends up with a deliverable product at the end of each iteration.

We're starting a new project on Monday and I wanted to be ahead of the game and have our agile systems in place, ready for the first sprint. Number one on that list is having an automatic, continuously integrated build. As many others have pointed out, F5 is not a build process, and it's something that I used to send a lot of time working on.
