This presentation was held at SPC Adriatics 2014 in Zagreb 10/16/2014 http://spcadriatics.com/2014/session/sharepoint-continuous-integration-with-vs-online-and-azure/ Abstract: With the Cloud Services Azure and VS Online professional SharePoint Development has never been easier. Having the infrastructure available on demand and only paying per use allows you to build complete production-like SharePoint farms in no time at minimal costs. VS Online on the other hand provides everything you need to develop projects alone or in a team. SourceControl, WorkItems, TeamBuild, Automated Testing including the traceability of all of it and detailed reporting. Even better, with an MSDN subscription both VS Online and Azure is already included. This session will show you how to – use VS Online to automatically build your SharePoint solutions and apps – automatically deploy your SharePoint solutions to the staging farm with VS Online – automatically deploy your Provider Hosted Apps to SharePoint Online and Azure.
