Feature Toggles, Package Management and Versioning in Microsoft TFS and VSTS 2017 from Pluralsight

Learn how to use feature toggles to separate a deployment from a release and enable multiple releases a day! Apply practices to split up your solutions into NuGet packages and apply a versioning strategy that enables fast release cycles.

Delivering software to production in a repeatable and reliable way requires us to be smarter about the way we deploy and release our software. In this course, Feature Toggles, Package Management and Versioning with Azure DevOps, you'll see how to use feature toggles, package management, and a proven way of versioning in order to deploy your software multiple times without affecting any users. First, you'll discover how to separate deployment from a release by using Feature Toggles as a means to introduce new or changed functionality without the need for branching in source control. Next, you'll explore details on how to split up your solution in multiple packages, and how you can ask crucial questions to determine the correct granularity, coupling, and cohesion between packages. Finally, you'll learn an industry proven way of versioning that helps you avoid endless dependencies. We integrate this into our automated builds in Azure DevOps. By the end of this course, you'll know how to efficiently use feature toggles, package management, and versioning with Azure DevOps.
