Dynamics of Software Development, 2/e

The classic book for understanding the practical rules and dynamics of the development process

“Don’t flip the bozo bit.”
“Get to a known state and stay there.”
“When slipping, don’t fall.”

These practical rules, and many others, are explained in this classic book— now back in print. The original edition of this book preceded “agile” software development and came before “Scrum.” In many ways, it was one of the first truly practical, hands-on books about working with and managing a software development team. In 1996, this was largely uncharted territory: most teams, even at large and mature corporations, were run by seat-of-the-pants methods. Academic resources about development processes were available, but understanding them was hard and applying them in the real world was harder. DYNAMICS OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT changed the game—and its insights are still relevant in the twenty-first-century world of Web services. Software developers learn the basic dynamics of the development process and the practical rules and best practices for enhancing team efficiency and effectiveness. This new edition includes a DVD of the author’s famous “21 Rules” presentation.

這是一本經典書籍，旨在理解軟體開發過程中的實際規則和動態。這本經典書籍現已重新出版。該書的原版出版於“敏捷”軟體開發之前，也是“Scrum”之前的作品。在很多方面，它是第一本真正實用、實戰性的軟體開發團隊工作和管理的書籍。在1996年，這是一片未知的領域：大多數團隊，即使是在大型成熟的公司，也是靠著經驗法則運作。雖然有關開發過程的學術資源是可用的，但理解它們很難，更難的是在現實世界中應用它們。《軟體開發的動態》改變了遊戲規則，它的見解在二十一世紀的網絡服務世界仍然具有相關性。軟體開發人員將學習開發過程的基本動態，以及提高團隊效率和效能的實際規則和最佳實踐。這個新版本還包括作者著名的“21條規則”演講的DVD。
