Hi all,
I forgot to tell you I made a 30 minute session in french about buildr
at the Agile Conference France 2011. It went well and I found it very
easy for me to "sell" buildr.
Slides are available online if you can read french [1] and [2].
I would like to run it in english at the XP Days Benelux 2011 (selection
process stil running). I would appreciate any feedback.
Here is my abstract :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
buildr, a simple, powerful and efficient build tool
Buildr is build on top of rake, “the ruby make”, and ruby. Buildr keeps
maven good habits (repositories, standard sources layout, standard
commands such as compile, test, install…) but remains a simple and easy
to extend tool.
We will see concrete exemples of real buildfiles. We will also see what
benefits are brought by rake and all the possibilities available with
the ruby language.
A few before/after maven and buildr examples :
* telecom project : build goes from 12 min to 2 min : feedback is
faster and clearer. The team now dares to dramatically improves its product.
* video projet : build shrinks from 14000 SLOC (maven 1) to 800 :
release duration and risk dramatically reduced on a very risky project.
buildr is available at buildr.apache.org : an active and open community
in the US and in Europe.
Format and length:
30 mins presentation
Intended audience and prerequisites:
Developers who care about their build and want a faster and better
feedback from their build
Objective(s) of the session:
Discover buildr
Have people trying it and adopting it, then contributing to it
Benefits for participants and presenter(s):
A new perspective about build tool : there are other ways to build code
