Speeding Up The Build
// May 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Programming, Work
I’ve written a blog on Huddle about Speeding Up The Build.
It covers a few changes that can be made to help keep your build nice and quick (anything over 60 seconds I would consider slow). Ours is currently at 100 seconds, so we’ve still got some work to do. It’s not bad though considering we have around 40 projects, over a thousand unit tests, css/jss compression, and run aspnet_compiler as a further check.

CruiseControl.Net
What Is CruiseControl.Net?
- CruiseControl.Net is a free framework for continuous build integration.
- It runs as a Windows service on our build server, watching for changes to our source control system. When it detects a change (ie a developer commits some code) it triggers an action.
- It also comprised of a Web Dashboard, so that build reports (ie the outcome of an action) can be viewed in a browser.
- It’s configured using XML.
- CruiseControl.Net lives on our “Kermit” build server.

I’ve started blogging on Huddle’s blog too, but will keep any articles I write there, linked on this blog.

Huddle v2 Launched
// March 26th, 2009 // No Comments » // General, Work
At last we’ve released Huddle v2. A vast improvement on the older version, with a completely new UI, more functionality, and far better usability (excluding accessibility). There’s plenty more to come to, and some rather cool technologies, Microsoft MVC, OpenRasta, OpenAuth, improved REST services and more…
Here’s an article from Huddle’s blog detailing the changes a bit more.
