TeamCity Training



ABOUT


TeamCity Training at devopsconsulting.in offers an in-depth exploration of TeamCity, a powerful continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tool developed by JetBrains. This training program is designed to equip participants with the skills needed to effectively utilize TeamCity for automating and managing their software build and deployment processes. The course covers key aspects of TeamCity, including its setup, configuration, and management of build processes. Participants will learn to create and manage build configurations, integrate TeamCity with version control systems, and implement automated testing and deployment pipelines. The training also includes practical, hands-on exercises that provide real-world experience in using TeamCity to streamline and optimize development workflows.


By the end of the course, attendees will be proficient in leveraging TeamCity’s features to enhance build automation, improve software delivery efficiency, and support robust CI/CD practices within their development teams. "TeamCity" is kind showing in a sequential approach - how to start implementing Continuous Integration - over generic projects and enclosing rich features of the TeamCity as a project gradually evolves
