Summary
We have walked through the creation of a build and deployment script in some depth. Although we have concentrated on a simple application, the same issues that arise for complex applications have appeared here in one form or another.
We have refactored the original script to a small extent and considered where other gains through refactoring may be obtained as we progress.
In addition, we have linked groups of tasks together to achieve our ends, and we discovered some of the limitations that we may need to tackle.
In the next chapter we will complicate the scenario further, which will lead to refactoring of the code itself and a refactoring of the build files to gain further efficiencies.
