Описание:
Rake was initially implemented as a Ruby version of Make—a commonly used build utility. However, calling Rake a build utility undermines its true power. Rake is actually an automation tool—it's a way to put all those tasks that you perform under the project into one neat and tidy place.

Basically, build automation includes the following processes:

Compiling the computer source code into binary code
Packaging the binary code
Running tests
Deployment to production systems
Creating documentation and/or release notes

Rake can be used in all these situations, and this book shows you how Rake performs all the steps. After reading this book, you will know Rake better and be able to write more clear and robust Rake code.
