Review: The Man Behind the Wheel: How Onkar S. Kanwar Created a Global Giant

The Man Behind the Wheel: How Onkar S. Kanwar Created a Global Giant The Man Behind the Wheel: How Onkar S. Kanwar Created a Global Giant by Tim Bouquet
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The book started really great. How the OSK's dad Raunak Singh came to India after the partition with nothing in hand and how the build an empire of Tyre business from scratch was really inspiring. I really loved the book halfway through. But after that, the book starts to lose steam. Complicated details on court cases and who told what was not really something interesting and adds any value to me personally.
So overall I would still recommend this book. Do read the first 50%. The next 50% is your choice.

Configuring CI pipeline in Jenkins for PHP projects

This article describes the process of creating a CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline for PHP projects using Jenkins server.  The Architecture The above diagram shows a graphical representation of the whole process. Here we have a git repo, the Jenkins CI server, and its build agent.  The Process   The process begins when the user checks in the code in the git repo. The git repo via its commit hook calls the build URL of Jenkins server.   The Jenkins server pulls the code from the git repo and sends it to build agent.   The build agent then executes the ant script and builds and validates the PHP code via various validations mentioned the ant script    The successful build can be deployed in a deployment server to complete the CD part of the process.  The configuration To configure this solution, we have used a Microsoft Team Foundation Server Online git repo and a Bitnami Jenkins server VM from Azure.
