It was surprising easy to get Jenkins up and running - The bad memories
from the Hudson days had been freaking me out.But I do apprecaite all the
hands of help that came my way the reponse to this message was most
welcoming.

Well, diffrent communities welcome newbies in diffrent ways, and I suppose
the frost and ice in here is nothing diffrent from other technical
communities.

Anyway - Thanks ... to the devs who made Jenkins - I can see it being a
massive time saver.

New to Jenkins, have 7 days to become an expert - wish me luck

Good Evening Jenkins users,

I have been trying to get my head around jenkins, and so far to sum up in a 
sentence, ¨It helps to do repetitive stuff like builds and updating code on 
websites¨

I'm hoping that the later is possible, because Ive just witnessed someone 
do the thing by hand, and my first thought was - hell no! I'm learning 
jenkins!

A quick read over the home page showed various plugins - rundeck, gitlab, 
both of which we use, so I'm really hoping that I can glue this lot 
together, so that when a dev pushes his work to the repo, 
five minutes later, the new website is displaying all his mistakes in HD on 
a nice test URL. I have a feeling that jenkins can help me here - im all 
ears at the moment, i will really appreciate some advice.

Right now, im spinning up a VM to practice getting my jenkins install going 
- and hopefully, i should be able to start to automate most of my day.

Thanks
