What is Cake?

A Definition…

“Cake (C# Make) is a cross platform build automation system with a C# DSL to do things like compiling code, copy files/folders, running unit tests, compress files and build NuGet packages.”

Reference http://cakebuild.net/

Okay, but why do I need it?

What are the main philosophies of Cake?

• Non intrusive• It should “just” work• Be highly configurable• Replace the parts that you don’t like• Easy to implement your own tools• No tools should be checked into your repository• Should behave the same way regardless of

• Operating System• Environment

As an example…
