Earlier today we had a great time on #c9d9 talking about Continuous Integration:

  • What are the pre-requisites for CI? is it culture or tooling?

  • What are some of the common challenges for CI, and how can you make it successful?

  • How do you make CI go faster?

  • And of course:is Branching evil?

Watch the Replay of the Episode to learn some tips and best practices for streamlining and scaling your CI efforts.
