Hi,

you will find here my press review around Continuous Integration and IT development solutions.
As you know, Continuous Integration is not only a way to build automatically, but also a path to development industrialisation.
That’s why you will find here news on tools (like Gradle or Maven), architecture (like Spring) but also methods and processes (like DevOps).

I hope you will find here some interesting information on your current investigations. Most of them are in English, but some are in French.
