Continuous Monitoring on Hanselminutes
While at DevTeach, I was interviewed by Scott Hanselman for his Hanselminutes Podcast. We started out talking about the history of the CruiseControl.NET project, but I opted to segue into discussing Continuous Monitoring. Continuous Monitoring focuses on providing continuous feedback to a team by leveraging visible dashboard displays to ambiently communicate information about the health and state of their project. I intend to write more about the practice here on this blog, but for now the podcast is the best place to learn more about it. I will be presenting about it at Agile 2008 and if you are interested in joining the discussion, feel free to join the Continuous Monitoring group.
Corrections:
There are a few statistics that I cited incorrectly off the top of my head during the podcast:
- The CruiseControl.NET project has consumed over 46 person years of effort - at least based on what oloh can divine from our subversion repository.
- The CruiseControl.NET project has had over 800,000 downloads - not 80,000 as I said during the interview. I was off by an order of magnitude. Oh and this doesn’t include all of the direct downloads from CCNetLive

DevTeach Toronto Wrap-up
Last week I was out in Toronto presenting at DevTeach. I gave 3 presentations:
- Database Migration in .NET (Sample Code)
- Recommended CI Practices
- Operations Database: Bridging the Gap between Development and Production
Unfortunately I ended up attending relatively few of the sessions as I was pretty busy preparing the materials for my presentations. But what I did see was quite good. I particularly liked Derek Hatcher’s Leveraging the Amazon Platform (EC2 and S3) and Greg Young’s DDDD, Unshackle Your Domain.
What I enjoyed most about the conference was getting to know and learn from some of the experts in a new technology circle. I missed last year’s DevTeach in Vancouver as I was in China at the time but I was glad to have made it out this one.

Scaling Continuous Integration paper
I wrote Garmisch-Partenkirchen. While it is a bit dated, most of the advice in it is still relevant.
I’m in Toronto this week speaking at DevTeach. One of the sessions that I will be doing is on Recommended Practices for Continuous Integration and I’ll be referring this paper.
