"Those of you who said I could not do this in 10 minutes, you're all still liars." -- Really, really funny stuff. I would very much enjoy more instruction on how to use NAnt. Right now, at work, we do nothing more than have it copy the files into the correct place and then run some kind of build for them. However, it is all messed up, because it runs other batch files that do this for us, as opposed to being purely build-file-based. It's further muddled by the fact that the person who wrote the build-file had no clue what he was doing. Thanks a lot for the show, to you and your sponsors!

I love your series! Can you open it up to multiple projects that working together? I currently have 3 projects that all work together, Web, BLL, DAL. How do you branch all 3 projects with the structure you have now? Do you put the 3 projects in the src folder together because they a a unit, or do you create 3 folder structures like you have in your casr? Both solutions seems to have drawbacks. Using one folder creates a future that these 3 projects will move lock step together, split them up, and they can grow apart. IE we need the BLL and the DAL to create a WebService; Branch the 3 and there may be breaking changes to the web, Branch just the BLL and DAL and the Web may die of neglect? Anyway, I am curious as to how you handle this?
