I presented on "Build and Deploy with NAnt" (slides/code available) at the WinProTeam Rockville .NET User Group on 11/4. The following are some of the questions (and my answers) from the event: Can NAnt be used to compile projects in any .NET language?

Monday, November 01, 2004 7:58 PM

On our current project we have been running our NAnt build script using a Windows Scheduled Task. While this never seemed particularly sophisticated, it did the job especially given that our build (plus all test suites) takes around 2 hours to run!

On my current project, we have 5 different environments - bleeding, stable, test, stage and production. The application is ASP.NET-based but also has a complicated Extraction Transformation and Loading (ETL) process which synchronizes the application's data with a legacy system.

My current project (which I am very excited about!) is building an internet facing ASP.NET application for a high profile function. It involves building business objects to map to the database and general functions of the system and then mapping those into the UI. And now the fun part ... the entire application has been built using TestDrivenDevelopment (TDD... Read More...
