Description

Take a Sneak Peek into Jenkins DSLs with the Mini Course: Optimizing Jenkins Deployments with DSLs!

Software companies are constantly innovating development strategies to bring new products and services to the market quickly and more efficiently. They look for consistent solutions to increase stability, quality, and profits. With DevOps and its Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery principles, companies have witnessed exponential business and technological growth. Most progressive startups and mature companies routinely implement the CI-CD principles in their automated software build pipelines. This ensures that their code is cleaner, deployments are faster, and delivery is reliable. As a result, business growth is guaranteed.

Software enterprises that implement the CI CD strategy in their regular development lifecycle, gain higher profits and an edge over others. They are able to display their scale of innovation and growth in the field of technology.

Which tool underlines the significance of continuous integration and delivery in software development? Jenkins!

Just look at these amazing numbers:

  • According to a new research by TechBeacon, 2018, there is a strong demand for DevOps professionals as a growing number of organisations are implementing the development model in their organisations.

  • According to recent data from jobs site Glassdoor , the national median salary for a DevOps engineer in the US is $110,000

  • 60% of hiring managers are looking to fill DevOps engineer positions, according to the 2017 Open Source Jobs Report, a study conducted by The Linux Foundation and tech jobs site Dice. 

  • 42% of companies responding to the Open Source Jobs study want to add DevOps skills across their hiring portfolio

  • DevOps engineer ranks #2 on Glassdoor’s 50 Best Jobs in America rankings

There is already a shortage of cloud talent and this gap is growing rapidly. Simply put, there’s a massive opportunity for people like you to equip yourself with the right skillset so that you can:

  • Join talent-hungry tech companies and be at the forefront of global innovation

  • Launch unique businesses or cloud application development services for the next generation

  • Enjoy plush paying cool DevOps projects

Whatever your choice may be, cloud computing is going to be YOUR KEY to financial success and growth and for the success of the community as a whole!

Jenkins is a vast, highly efficient automation platform. You can accomplish a lot with Jenkins, and it requires minimal configurations. A dynamic, stable tool that gives you the freedom to explore and automate a wide variety of tasks. Using Jenkins, you can simplify sophisticated software processes through automated builds and test executions. You receive immediate feedback on the automation processes on Jenkins. This approach efficiently reduces turnaround time for code repair and deployment!

With the rising demands of the digital market for on-the-go software deployment, Jenkins makes your lives easier by taking up the responsibility of automation.  You are free to focus on other criticalities of the development process.

Jenkins is the ultimate platform for implementing the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery principles. You can use Jenkins as an automation hub to run and monitor the continuous integration and delivery phases of your project with ease! Since the builds are automated, the source code is continuously integrated with the latest version for deployment. With the entire process automated, human intervention is minimal, risks are low, and the product is delivered on time!

What Sets Us Apart?

Complete beginner to expert Jenkins skills – This course does not assume any expertise in Jenkins or Groovy script. We give you step by step instructions and in fact, we hand hold you through all the exercises together with you. So you can follow along and understand exactly how everything comes together and what each step means.

Practical demo tutorials – Where most courses simply bombard you with dense theory and set you on your way, we believe in developing a deep understanding of not only what you’re doing, but why you’re doing it. That’s why we focus on building up your understanding of the inner working of the Jenkins  for infinitely better results down the line.

Real-world knowledge – We work with real startups and real projects every day. We know first hand the problems engineers and architects face on daily basis. All this real-world experience is passed on to you in the courses. Each module comprises of in-depth demos and walk-throughs, meaning you’ll garner enough skill to build your own container application adaptable to any environment, rather than just passing a glorified memory “test and forget” like most other courses. Practice truly does make perfect.

Student support – We’re fully committed to making this the most accessible and results-driven Jenkins course on the planet. So we are there for our students whenever you need our help. You can contact us any ask any question at any time - you’ll get a response from us within 48 hours.

What if I don’t have any need for Jenkins course right now? - As the statistics and figures show – Cloud Computing and DevOps is rapidly expanding into our lives each and every day, meaning even though you may not be directly using Jenkins right now, sooner or later you will run into it inevitably. Can you imagine when Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity and people around him ignored it as an irrelevant phenomenon - how much the world will be missing out on? Same thing goes for tech – you would have been puzzled by the need for a “Smartphone” ten years ago, yet now we can’t imagine our lives without one. The true potential only becomes apparent in time, do you want to risk missing out?

Is it too difficult for me to understand? - Not at all. We’ll take you step by step from a novice level to an expert on Jenkins. We work as technology leaders and mentors to several engineers every day. We know how to explain things and use the lingo. We just choose to teach in ways that are a lot more fun (and less headache-inducing). By the end of this course, you’ll be able to job scheduling and much more with Jenkins in your project and achieve amazing results.

I am not an engineer, will this course still benefit me? - Whether you are a startup founder, a product manager or a project manager - it is quite likely that your organization is already using or will be using these technologies. Going through these courses will give you a deeper understanding about how your engineering team is using all the new technologies. You will be able to discuss the pros and cons of their technical approach with higher confidence. 

Is your IT career on the right track?

Well, if you invest your time and bring an eagerness to learn, we guarantee you real, actionable education at a fraction of the cost you can demand as an IT engineer or consultant. We are confident your investment will come back to you in no time.

It is a good introduction, but I'd say out of the 25 recordings, there are probably, and optimistically only 10 useful ones at most. And probably only 1 lecture on DSL syntax that is actually useful, but covered too shallowly.

Didn't like the explanation, it looks like some robot is reading. No proper hands on. taken most time in telling same thing repeatedly

Why not spend few more minutes to show a real groovy script deploying a simple summing application ? And show a unit test execution of the sum function ? All people don't use Heroku.

I think you should have explored a little more about Groovy script basics like functions, loops and groovy initial scripts

No Downloadable materials supplied! Promises without keeping it - never give good karma This course just Advertising in which you give me promise to explain basics of Jenkins and provide some more scripts but you not keep it. Why i should believe you and buy courses for money?)

Quiz questions are very ambiguous, sometimes the don't make much sense and one would say there's no correct answer. Course is missing basic use case of checking out dsls from the repo. It's easy to figure out, but would be nice to mention.

oral explanation on groovy side, if you don't know anything about Jenkins this course would give over view but who has familiar this is not that much worth watch

It was too basic for me. I spent almost the entire course at 2x speed because nothing was ever really explained in much depth. The best part was Section 3.21 - Jenkins DSL Example Job which gave a bit of a practical use case. Other than that, frankly, I feel as if some of my time was wasted and could have been spent on a more informative course or lecture.

It gives a high level components and how to configure a job, so that you are ready to explore more . It does not show end-to-end the approach and methodology on CI/CD Pipelines using Jenkins DSL.

If you are an absolute beginner this course will be useful. It does not get too deep into how to best apply Groovy with Jenkins think of it more as a course to learn the basics.

There could be more example of the practical demonstration but it does not contain, it's just finished with nothing the instructor might have shown a real-life example of CI/CD along with the deployment to the server.
