Software teams today ship features faster than ever, but many still rely on manual or poorly managed build and deployment processes. This leads to broken builds, inconsistent environments, and wasted developer time. Ant, short for “Another Neat Tool,” has long been a trusted build automation tool for Java projects and remains widely used in enterprise systems where reliability and repeatability matter. Ant Online Training by DevOpsSchool is designed to help you turn messy build steps into clean, automated workflows that boost productivity and reduce errors.
Through this training, you learn how to use Apache Ant to compile code, package artifacts, manage directories, and automate repetitive tasks in a structured, configurable way. Whether you are maintaining legacy Java applications or working in large multi-team projects, Ant Online Training helps you understand the full Ant ecosystem and apply it with confidence.
About the Course
Ant Online Training focuses on the practical use of Apache Ant as a build and deployment automation tool in real-world projects. The course is crafted for technology professionals who design, construct, and manage Java-based applications, and it takes you from basic concepts to advanced build scenarios using hands-on exercises.
During the program, you explore:
- Ant fundamentals: architecture, configuration, and core concepts such as targets, tasks, and properties.
- Building and deploying Java projects: compiling source code, packaging JARs/WARs, copying files to servers, and managing directory structures like build and target directories.
- Working with XML build files (build.xml), custom tasks, and integrations with other tools.
- Best practices for automating complete build pipelines from source to deployment.
DevOpsSchool also supports the course with web tutorials, video tutorials, PPTs, PDFs, HTML slides, and free quizzes, giving you a complete self-learning plus instructor-guided experience. The training is available in both online and classroom formats for learners across India and abroad.
