Managing Dependencies at Build Time

Libraries, service definitions, and sub-projects – oh my! Most projects of any size depend on things from third party or internally built projects. How do we keep track of what's in our builds? When should we rebuild our project? When is source control and Maven/NuGet not enough?

Unmanaged dependencies are a common problem in our industry. Without regular and automatic updates of dependent libraries, we lack true continuous integration. Without clear manifests of everything that went into our build, audit is difficult at best.

Join Urbancode senior technologist Eric Minick for an hour long examination of build time dependencies. In this session we'll cover:

Dependency management basics: repositories, rules, and triggers
Continuous integration across large dependency graphs
Best practices for enterprises managing open source libraries

When: Tues., Jan. 8, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. EST
