One Year On

Happy anniversary! Yes, my first post on this blog was one year ago! That was when I first adventured into the wonderful world of open source and embarked on enhancing and improving CruiseControl.NET.

Since then a lot of things have changed! Here are some of the highlights:

• I have a son (he’s almost five months old now!)
• I’ve written 178 posts
• I’ve changed 60 thousand lines of code (wow!)
• I’ve added a new application to CC.NET (CCValidator)
• And I’ve started my own open source project (FastForward.NET)

In terms of CruiseControl.NET, I’ve added the following functionality:

• Security
• Dynamic build values and parameters
• Message-based communications
• Common communications client
• Monitor API
• NDepend and NCover tasks
• Image and HTML support in the dashboard
• Packages
• Hot-swapping
• Parallel and sequential tasks
• Task statuses

Plus I’ve gotten to know a great bunch of people, and learnt a lot about coding and development.

So, all in all, one year down the line, I think it has been very much worth it

Here’s to another year!!!
