Continuously Deliver IIS-based .NET 4 Applications

Master Continuous Delivery for IIS .NET Applications

This course provides a deep dive into creating robust build and release definitions for deploying .NET applications hosted on IIS, a cornerstone of achieving true continuous delivery. You'll gain practical expertise in automating the deployment process for real-world applications.

Key Topics Covered:

• .NET Application Packaging & Configuration: Understand how .NET applications effectively manage packages, shared library references, and configuration settings for seamless deployment.
• ASP.NET & WCF Deployment: Learn to build and deploy various types of ASP.NET applications and WCF services using automated processes.
• Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) / Team Foundation Server (TFS): Utilize VSTS (and its equivalent in TFS) to define and manage build and release definitions. These concepts are broadly applicable across different Team Foundation Server implementations.
• Build & Release Definitions: Explore the core components of VSTS/TFS build and release definitions, covering essential tasks and steps for automated deployments.
• PowerShell for Custom Deployments: Discover how to leverage PowerShell to execute custom activities and address unique deployment requirements that go beyond the standard predefined tasks.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Automate the deployment of ASP.NET Core and Framework applications to IIS using VSTS/TFS.
• Implement custom deployment workflows using PowerShell to handle specific application needs.
• Establish solid build and release definitions for reliable and repeatable deployments.
• Achieve true continuous delivery for your IIS-based .NET applications.
