Salesforce Code Deployment : ANT & Changesets learning via developer edition

Question

I am trying to learn salesforce code deployment process.

I believe deploying code via ANT & Changesets are the most common ways to deploy your changes into Production.

I would like to get a hands-on (self-learning) with these tools as such is it possible to learn about these tools with my developer edition itself ?

also you can deploy from eclipse force.com IDE; changesets won't allow you to delete components from production. — cropredy, May 10, 2015 at 5:05
There are also third party tools for moving changes around your Salesforce orgs....I highly recommend you check them out when you run into issues with Change Sets or the ant tools. Full disclosure that I lead the team, but at gearset.com we are trying to build the best Salesforce deployment service out there. — Kevin Boyle, May 10, 2015 at 16:27
