Workflow and Build Automation

with Make and Company

Presentation courtesy of David Bindel.

Abstract:

One of the great early successes of the Unix world was Make, a system for automating the steps to build software. Come see how build tools like Make and more flexible successors (such as Rake, SnakeMake, and PyDoIt), can help you automate not only the steps to build software but also to build documents and run data analysis.
