SharePoint Saturday NJ 2014: Improving the SharePoint Development Process with Continuous Integration

Last weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at SharePoint Saturday New Jersey. Held at the Rutgers University Busch Campus, this was SPS NJ's second year, and my first in attendance (unfortunately in 2013 it was the same weekend as our annual office retreat). It was a great day, with a couple hundred people in attendance and many excellent presentations (including four others by my Slalom colleagues!).

I had one of the last sessions of the day, speaking about Continuous Integration and how it can benefits SharePoint development projects. It was my first time presenting on the topic, and although I thought it went pretty well I definitely received some valuable feedback which I will use to adjust prior to SPS Connecticut in November.

My slides reference a number of helpful articles and frameworks, which I'll list again below so you don't have to go through and find them all:

• The Daily WTF: Source Control Done Right
• QUnit JavaScript Testing Framework
• Chutzpah JavaScript Test Runner
• Integration Chutzpah with TFS
• SharePoint 2010 with Windows PowerShell Remoting Step by Step
• Client-side SharePoint PowerShell
• My Continuous Integration Blog Posts (more on the way!)

And here are the slides. Please leave any questions or feedback in the comments below!
