About this course

Modern software development moves fast, and manual deployment processes simply cannot keep up. Understanding how to automate the build, test, and deployment phases is an essential skill for anyone entering the software development or DevOps space. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). You will learn how to translate manual software delivery steps into automated, repeatable workflows, transitioning from manual processes to robust Pipeline-as-Code implementations. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts, terminology, and business benefits of CI/CD pipelines. - Write clean and structured YAML configuration files to define your delivery pipeline. - Configure automated build and test stages within Azure DevOps Pipelines. - Implement Pipeline-as-Code practices to version control your deployment workflows. - Integrate modern security scanning and code linting tools directly into your pipeline stages. - Troubleshoot common pipeline failures and manage build artifacts effectively. The course begins by establishing a strong foundation in CI/CD terminology before introducing Azure DevOps and the YAML syntax. Through clear written explanations and realistic code snippets, you will progress from basic pipeline definitions to multi-stage deployment workflows. This course is designed for absolute beginners, developers, and aspiring DevOps engineers who want to learn pipeline automation with no prior CI/CD experience required. Start reading today to build your first automated software pipeline.
