2www.cfunited.com What this presentation is “About” is “About”

3www.cfunited.com

4www.cfunited.com Are you in the right room?

5www.cfunited.com every single time Given a choice between spending an hour doing a task manually, or spending three hours writing a program to do it automatically... a geek will write the program, every single time. And, if not given the choice, if explicitly ordered to do the job manually, we'll disobey and write the program anyway. --Catherine Devlin

6www.cfunited.com But… Why? Why? We’ll get to that later…

7www.cfunited.com7 Personal Productivity

8www.cfunited.com Batch Files

9www.cfunited.com  In Windows, these end with “.bat”  They make calls to system commands and other executables  They save time by reducing keystrokes and mouse clicks and by combining multiple commands into a single ‘action’ NET START "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server" NET START "Macromedia JRun Admin Server"

10www.cfunited.com Keyboard Launchers

11www.cfunited.com  Keyboard launchers can start programs, bat files, etc  Advanced launchers can simulate mouseclicks and keystrokes  They save time by eliminating mouseclicks and significantly reducing keystrokes

12www.cfunited.com 12 This thing is killing you killing you

13www.cfunited.com Code Snippets

14www.cfunited.com  Most IDEs have a “snippet” or “macro” feature  Pre-recorded snippets of commonly used code  Often can ‘invoke’ with a key sequence  Save time by reducing keystrokes, avoiding mistakes, and contending with ‘the memory problem’ If you type it more than once, put it in a snippet

15www.cfunited.com15www.cfunited.com Systems Automation

16www.cfunited.com Apache ANT (for moving, copying, zipping, starting, stopping, svn-ing, and lots of other -ings)

17www.cfunited.com  Extremely powerful application for completely automating your build and deployment process  Also very useful for routine file system and system command task automation  You can execute ANT from the command line and bat files, which means you can schedule tasks easily  Limited only by your imagination

18www.cfunited.com Apache JMeter (for pounding on web pages)

19www.cfunited.com  Start it with a bat file  Create Test Plans with “Thread Groups”. These are http requests  Control number of concurrent users and how many times they run  Full-fledged load-testing application, but extremely useful as a simple tool for pounding on things  Perfect for those situations where you wish you had 100 of you to click links
