Makes sure that each task is only run once.

Note: Built using Roslyn, allowing execution on both Windows, OS X and Linux.

Script Processing to make sure things work the same on both.

Note: Black ones are built in and ship with Cake.

Blue ones are those that have been created by the community.

There are aliases that span across:

• Unit Testing Frameworks
• Test Coverage
• Static Code Analysis
• JavaScript Runners
• Documentation Generators
• Chat Systems
• Publishing

Note: Talk about compiling directly out of Visual Studio:

• You might run some Unit Tests after the build has completed
• You might run some static analysis tools within Visual Studio
• You might manually create and deploy a package once you know that everything works

This is prone to human error, and not repeatable or maintainable as the complication of the application increases

We build Cake with Cake on...

Note: 8 Different CI Services.

3 Different Operating Systems.

@title[Alternative Build Tools]

Can't I just use...

@ul[text-08]

• FAKE
• MAKE
• CMake
• MSBuild
• NAnt
• PSake
• Nuke
• ? @ulend

Note: You can use any of these that you want.

Fully agree with the concept of a polyglot developer, but from a strictly pragmatic point of view, writing a build script in the same language as you are developing, makes a lot of sense.
