They say that the hardest thing about a podcast is getting through the first 10 episodes without giving up. Well, I made it. I would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to listen and provide feedback. And I will say Thank you to all those that listen to my podcast in the future as well.

In this episode, we're going to start to delve into the topic of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CICD or CI/CD).There is a lot of information about the topic of CICD on the internet. This is my take on how to do it if you are dealing with a large organization with a lot of legacy software applications. Under these circumstance, you will find that you have to re-tool a lot of the build and deploy functionality because existing technology can be problematic to automate. We will also talk about tools that you can use when implementing CICD for your organizationNext Episode: Jenkins - Not your everyday butler!

In this episode, I look at some of the similarities and differences between BitBucket and GitHub. There are many different needs when it comes to SCM and development collaboration and these are only 2 of the many choices that exist in this space. I have used both and find that there are enough similarities that moving from one to the other does not create any real problems once you are familiar with the basic function of each.Next episode: CI/CD Basics - Continuous Everything

It also covers what I have to offer and how I hope to help them if they choose to use any of the information that I provide.
