Install Jenkins slave - Linux6:18
In this video we will go over the process of installing the Jenkins slave in a Linux environment.
Jenkins key terms and concepts6:53
Before diving deep into building our CI pipelines - in this video, we will get familiar with some key terms and concepts related to Jenkins.
Jenkins setup0:10
Jenkins setup - security5:47
By default Jenkins is completely unsecured and open. In this video we will take necessary steps to implement basic security for our Jenkins installation.
Jenkins setup - plugins3:10
In this video we will install a Git source control management plugin into our Jenkins installation.

Jenkins CI setup0:27
Importance of automated tests1:29
Automated testing is very important for a successful implementation of a continuous integration pipeline.
Sample database - Northwind2:08
We will be using SQL Server as our backend database engine. The Northwind database - which is a popular sample database for SQL Server will be used for the demo projects. In this video we will have a quick look at the schema for our Northwind database.
Relational database management with RoundhousE7:36
Change and version management for relational databases in an automated build environment is very challenging. In this video we will get familiar with an excellent framework called RoundHousE which will help us accomplish this task with ease.

Description

Today the technology sector is experiencing a boom throughout the world. There are hundreds of startups launching every day. In order to move fast - these startups need people who are skilled at automating as much as possible. Mostly progressive startups - favor implementing completely automated DevOps pipelines from the get go. They realize that these practices of continuous integration (CI) and DevOps will yield tremendous benefits regarding speed and agility. The demand for these skills has been steadily rising over the last few years.

Jenkins is an award-winning open source toolset which enables us to build very sophisticated automated build pipelines very quickly. It has extensive community support which has augmented the core functionality of Jenkins by building and sharing hundreds of very useful plugins. Implementing continuous integration with Jenkins can help us immensely in reducing the risk within our software development lifecycle. It catches us bugs early and increases the quality of our software products. This, in turn, reduces the overall cost to develop innovative software in any environment - startups and enterprise alike.

The demand for professionals who have experience with these tools has been growing steadily over the last few years. The salaries and consulting rates for these skills have also been rising and are only bound to go up as the demand for these skills remains steady or increases.
