NCDevCon Session Spotlight: Practical development and deployment

Every presentation I see on ANT, Hudson, Eclipse and the like focus on the highest level of integration for extremely complex deployments. I want to show _simple_ Jenkens/Hudson tasks with Simple ANT tasks and how you can use both to manage a staging environment as well as production deployments. Even a single consultant with hudson/ANT. We use this approach to manage our staff of 28 developers and 30 odd projects. The goal would be to show this in a practical light - skipping unit testing SCM compiling and everything else... showing 3 things.

1) a straightforward Hudson task to draw a new version from SVN/GIT to a specific folder.

2) a straightforward ANT script that focuses on File copy, inclusions and exclusions.

3) A simple post-commit hook using curl or wget that triggers a build. Even a novice progammer could take the samples and instructions and have their own hudson/ant deployment up and running in short order.
