This document provides step-by-step instructions for setting up continuous integration of projects using Jenkins on Windows Azure. It describes how to create a virtual machine on Azure, install Jenkins and additional plugins on the VM, and configure a sample project in Jenkins to trigger builds and send email notifications. The goal is to demonstrate how to automate building and testing of projects hosted in Git repositories using Jenkins running on an Azure VM.
