Continuous integration step by step with Howard Deiner

We hear a lot about continuous integration these days, but some of us are still confused about what exactly CI is. Is it just a fancy way of doing builds? Does it mean you have to have all your regression tests automated? I got a chance to sit down with Howard Deiner at Agile 2011 and asked him more about continuous integration. He has written a series of four tips for us in which he explains the benefits of continuous integration and provides an implementation plan from beginning to end.
