Modern Continuous Integration With Xojo

Lightspeed is a large application built with Xojo, and integrating it in our Continuous Integration pipeline has meant maintaining a a collection of shell scripts, AppleScripts and XojoScripts. Join us as we upgrade the build system to use the modern, bi-directional IDE communicator for improved build times and diagnostics. You will gain insights into integrating your own applications in a CI pipeline, and be able to diagnose build issues when they inevitably arise.

An interesting fact/hobby/interest that others may not know about you.

Favorite TV show, band, and/or movie?
Movie: « Serenity » Band: « Les Trois Accords », a Quebec rock band with extremely catchy tunes whose lyrics are at times hilarious, naive, non-sensical and poetic. Check them out.

Chicken, because in the end everything tastes like chicken.
