This presentation was targetted at developers new to Continuous Integration. The examples use my Abstract2ion project which comes set up for Continuous Integration. If you are trying to set this up with TeamCity the table below has some of the configuration values necessary (TeamCity is pretty easy to use, so I'm not going to write a step by step guide):

My colleague Bill Poole gave a presentation last night on SOA at the Perth .NET Community of Practice. To those who didn't make it you missed a highly informative tour of the fundamentals of SOA. My only real criticism is that a discussion of service boundaries would have eliminated some of the audience questions (No, I'm not just suggesting that because it was my comment when I reviewed the powerpoint slides before the presentation).These are the kind of presentations that make user groups worthwhile.
