This course runs for a duration of 2 Days.
The class will run daily from 8:30am CST to 4:30pm CST.
Class Location: St. Louis - St. Louis, MO.
Typically software development produces two main types of output: (1) source code, and (2) binary artifacts. Our production software systems often incorporate or rely on many dozens or hundreds of binary artifacts. Unfortunately, all these dependencies are often poorly managed and software teams can easily become ensnared in "dependency hell." Artifactory is designed to remedy this situation, as well as enabling a large number of other lean-agile engineering best practices.
Throughout this course, we will be exploring jFrog Artifactory and how we can integrate it into our workflow to improve the speed and efficiency of software development and deployment.
This workshop will teach you how to use JFrog Artifactory for dependency management, artifact management, and as a repo for common binary products.
By the end of this JFrog Artifactory training workshop, you will understand how to:
Who Should Attend
Properly managing dependencies and binary artifacts is a crucial skill for anyone involved in the software pipeline. This workshop is for anyone who uses JFrog Artifactory as part of their team's toolchain. Valuable for:
Part 1 – Introduction: Dependency Management and Artifactory
In the first part of this course, we explore the concepts behind Artifactory, and how it helps us to optimize our continuous delivery workflow and application delivery.
We also get you connected to your course lab environment which we will be using for an exploration of Artifactory throughout the course, and so you can participate in the course exercises to gain hands-on experience with the software.
2 – The Artifactory Data Model
3 – Hands-On: Artifactory and Maven
With all the installation and configuration work out of the way it is time to put Artifactory to work for us. In this section we set up our first Artifactory project using Maven, and we learn how to search, manage and publish / stage our artifacts.
Part 4 – Hands-On: Integration with CI Tools
We have already used Artifactory through its web UI and through the command line , in the tools we use every day for Software development, Eclipse for Java developers and Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET. We also integrate it with our continuous integration environment Jenkins, to automate our continuous delivery pipeline and make it as efficient as possible.
Part 5 – Hands-On: Further Integrating Artifactory with your IDE
So far our focus has been on projects built with Maven, in this section of the course we take a look at how we go about configuring projects using other build tools such as Ant, or how we go about building and deploying artifacts for .NET projects or the increasingly popular NodeJS.
After completing this part of the course you should have a good understanding of how to adapt Artifactory for any type of project, from Ruby on Rails to Docker containers, you will have the knowledge and hands-on experience to make the most of Artifactory for your projects.
Part 6 – Class Conclusion
Attendees of this workshop should be familiar with modern software development workflow in their organization.
