Again we have one of our recurring speakers we'd like to welcome on Wednesday 27th of March. Nearly exactly a year ago Michelangelo van Dam held a presentation on the same location. This time he will talk about taking the Continuous Deployment concept to the next level.

The lecture:
Continuous Deployment, TDD and Continuous Integration is nothing new anymore and many of you are already veterans deploying multiple times each day code into production. But you’re still suffering from cutting corners and doing something quick on production when time is pressing, violating the processes you all worked hard on to get approved.

In this talk we take this very concept to the next level and show you how we used unconventional ways to deploy faster with less issues and regained control over a 10+ year old legacy application.
