Preface
How to Use This Book
This book is big—bigger than I ever thought it would be. I’ve worried about this at some level, but decided that there were two ways to go when writing it: I could either limit the content to only what was needed to do a basic tutorial, or I could spend some time explaining concepts, creating code examples, and diving into what terminology, functions, and programming with pipelines-as-code really mean. If you’ve scanned the book, you can probably figure out that I opted to do the latter.
My reasoning for that was due to my experiences over many years of training people on using Jenkins. In a short class or workshop, we could only cover a small number of topics. And people were always hungry for more—more detail and more examples that they could apply. At the end of conference presentations, I would invariably get lines of people asking for more information sources, examples, and where to find info about such and such. Oftentimes, it would come down to “Google this” or “See this question on Stack Overflow.” Nothing wrong with that, but also not the most convenient approach.
This book is intended to help you find answers on how to use this powerful technology. Granted, it’s more mechanics than DevOps, but chances are if you are reading this, you already have some grasp of continuous integration (CI), continuous deployment (CD), DevOps, and Jenkins, and are looking for how to make the most out of the new Jenkins features.
