Continuous Integration and Delivery for JavaScript Apps using Visual Studio Online. Yes, Visual Studio Online
Did you know that Microsoft has learned how to play nice with others? Visual Studio Code is great but it is just the teaser. Now that you’re hooked let’s deep dive into what the mothership has built for JS developers. Visual Studio Online is a powerful, flexible, inexpensive (free for small teams!) and easy Application Lifecycle Management tool that works great with more than just .Net apps. Want to deploy a Github repo to a Linux host? It can do that. Docker your thing? Then buckle up. Need to integrate and run test builds? Yup. Run a unit test suite? You bet. Manage code with pull requests? Easy-peasy. We will see how to pull, build, test, and deploy a single page Javascript and Node app to multiple environments using Visual Studio Online. It’ll be fast, fun, and really easy.
