The Mythical Man-Month:
Essays on Software Engineering, 20th Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition)
Editorial Review: Amazon.com
The classic book on the human elements of software engineering. Software
tools and development environments may have changed in the 21 years since
the first edition of this book, but the peculiarly nonlinear economies of
scale in collaborative work and the nature of individuals and groups has not
changed an epsilon. If you write code or depend upon those who do, get this
book as soon as possible -- from Amazon.com Books, your library, or anyone
else. You (and/or your colleagues) will be forever grateful. Very Highest
Recommendation.
A reader's review
Most of what you'll read in this book will not come as a surprise, you've
heard it before; well, this is the source. These are observation like:
Programmers who really think they found the last bug mess up your planning
(since they didn't), the last 10% of a software project may take more
resources to complete than all used so far and adding resources to a project
will only make it finish even later.

The Rational Unified Process
Made Easy: A Practitioner's Guide to Rational Unified Process
Book Description
This book will teach you the key points
involved in planning and managing iterative projects, the fundamentals of
component design and software architecture, and the proper employment of use
cases. All team members--from project managers to analysts, from developers
to testers--will learn how to immediately apply the RUP to their work. You
will learn that the RUP is a flexible, versatile process framework that can
be tailored to suit the needs of development projects of all types and
sizes.
Reviewed by Kevin P. Monaghan from
Birmingham, MI USA
This is an excellent book on RUP! Whether you
are new to RUP or experienced and just need a refresher course, this is the
book for you! Kroll and Krutchten do an outstanding job making RUP easy to
understand and consumable for the masses. They help make the move to
iterative, risk-based development easy by providing examples for the same
three projects (a small new development project, a large new development
project and a large enhancement project) throughout the book. |
