Course Overview:
Jenkins is an open source automation server written in Java. Jenkins helps to automate the nonhuman part of the software development process, with continuous integration and facilitating technical aspects of continuous delivery. It is a server-based system that runs in servlet containers such as Apache Tomcat. The participants will be able to learn comprehensively about Jenkins that provides many plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project. At the end of this course, one would be able to exhibit a good understanding on Jenkins as an extensible automation server and also that it can be used as a simple CI server or turned into the continuous delivery hub for any project.
