- 14. Example build script
- 16. phing clean
- 17. prepare

- 19. deploy live
- 20. Continuous Integration Remove reliance on Human nature Regular automated builds (phing/ant) Report on build status
- 21. CI Reports For many of the tools we're already familiar with Phing targets: - phpcs, pdepend, phpcpd, phpmd, phpunit, phpcb etc.

- #6: Phing = PHing Is Not Gnu make\n\nDeveloper build toolkit - tool for every job (almost)!\nLGPL Licensed\n\nMy knowledge of Phing about 20%, however there's great documentation!\n
- #7: Web applications require deployment, packaging, testing, setting permissions, configuration, creating log files\nDoing so by hand every time is scary!\n
- #8: \n\n
- #9: \n\n
- #10: \n\n
- #11: Project: root XML node\nTargets: collection of tasks, together for a reason\nTasks: call to specific action e.g. copy, symlink etc.\n

- #13: \n\n
- #14: Fileset selectors - powerful matching, as well as **\ndate based, size, file/dir, related files present\nMapper - also a good tool, convert filenames during build\nFilters (filterchains) - transform data during build, e.g. strip comments, replace values in config files (via regex)\n<php> task - evaluate PHP expression/Fn call result stored in property\nEmbed PHP direct in build file using <adhoc> task (Needs to be <adhoc><![CDATA[...]]></adhoc>\n
