Continuous Integration in Theory and Practice

The Continuous Integration process is often summed up as "don't break the build," but there is a lot more to it than that. Continuous Integration done properly is all about shortening the feedback loop between developers so that any changes that affect other developers are dealt with as quickly as possible. This talk will cover how CI works in practice, as well as the theory behind reducing integration times and increasing developer productivity that CI enables.
