Archie: Easy cross-compilation for busy developers
It’s not much of a secret that I want more builds on more platforms for my software because I want as much validation as I can get for every pull request and every change.

Marcel de Vries just launched some great video training on Pluralsight, giving a complete introduction to DevOps and Continuous Delivery practices with Azure DevOps. If you’re wanting to implement CD and DevOps within your organization, this is a great piece of training to have in your arsenal.
