Building

January 26, 2007 ·  


When doing pc based development I think that having a working build environment that you can quickly recreate on a developers machine is very important.

I also beleive that making it possible to have more than one instance of said environment on any computer should be a prioritised goal.

This will:

  • save a lot of time when introducing new developers.
  • make it easy to do more than one thing at a time.
  • enable nightly builds.
  • visualize cloaked dependencies

… and if you do nightly builds along with some automated testing you will:

  • find errors early
  • always have someting to deliver
  • feel confident in your work
