Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk
For any software developer who has spent days in "integration hell," cobbling together myriad software components, "Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk" illustrates how to transform integration from a necessary evil into an everyday part of the development process. The key, as the authors show, is to integrate regularly and often using cont...more

The entire book can be reduced to two slides: one diagram and one bullet list of pros and cons. The diagram shows up again and again; they use it as a map to the contents, highlighting the current section. Each time, the diagram takes about three quarters of the page. It is not a very busy diagram and if could easily have

Good read. I liked the way the information is presented. I consider this to be a good complement to Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation but if I had to pick one, I'd select the CD book. Make sure to visit the companion website to get the most current recommendations.

This is a general overview of CI, with examples from the java domain. There are no great revelations - but if you are new to CI, then it gives a good overview of the ideas
What a waste of space. Don't even bother. The wikipedia article on Continuous Integration gives you as much useful information as this book.
Good introduction in the continuos integration, rating is low because a lot of water it it.
Typical "textbook-ized" fluff. Two-hundred and seventy pages that should have been three.
Let me be clear: I liked the information that was provided. Very useful and applicable to software engineering, and it really changed the way I look at development processes and continuous integration.
But it was way too wordy. I think the information could have been conveyed much more succinctly. The great nuggets of information were watered down with too many justifications and narratives and perspectives.

Good introduction to Continuous Integration. Broad in scope and fairly basic, a quick read. Contains a lot of material about specific tools (the appendix is 15% of the book), but since it was published in 2007, that is all out of date.
It's a good general overview of CI. It's focused on java domain, but most of the stuff is applicable to .Net domain as well. It's a good book for people who is new to CI, but for me it wasn't much interesting.
Quite a good starter on theoretical CI. It lacks more practical knowledge, but it is not a big problem.
