We find CI in .NET a difficult topic, because you’ll typically need assemble a lot of different building blocks. It’s not a luxury to have a book paving the directions for you. The book CI in .NET by Kawalerowicz (http://www.amazon.com/Continuous-Integration-NET-Marcin-Kawalerowicz/dp/1935182552/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1339077947&sr=1-1) does exactly this. We’ve been technical proofreaders for this book, and it was fun to do so. The book discusses:

• What is CI?
• Setting up various source control systems
• Automating the build process
• Choosing CI servers
• Getting continuous feedback
• Continuous Unit testing
• Performing integration, system, and acceptance testing
• Analyzing code using FxCop, StyleCop, NDepend, and TeamCity
• Generating documentation via XML or Sandcastle
• Deployment and delivery
• Continuous database integration
• Extending CI
