About this title

Synopsis:

Software Craftsmanship Introducing "software craftsmanship", a programmer-centric way to build software, this text explains why software engineering isn't enough and aims to transform the developer's relationship with users and customers. Full description

From the Back Cover:

By recognizing that software development is not a mechanical task, you can create better applications.

Today’s software development projects are often based on the traditional software engineering model, which was created to develop large-scale defense projects. Projects that use this antiquated industrial model tend to take longer, promise more, and deliver less.

As the demand for software has exploded, the software engineering establishment has attempted to adapt to the changing times with short training programs that teach the syntax of coding languages. But writing code is no longer the hard part of development; the hard part is figuring out what to write. This kind of know-how demands a skilled craftsman, not someone who knows only how to pass a certification course.

Software Craftsmanship presents an alternative―a craft model that focuses on the people involved in commercial software development. This book illustrates that it is imperative to turn from the technology-for-its-own-sake model to one that is grounded in delivering value to customers. The author, Pete McBreen, presents a method to nurture mastery in the programmer, develop creative collaboration in small developer teams, and enhance communications with the customer. The end result―skilled developers who can create, extend, and enhance robust applications.

This book addresses the following topics, among others:

Understanding customer requirements

Identifying when a project may go off track

Selecting software craftsmen for a particular project

Designing goals for application development

Managing software craftsmen

Software Craftsmanship is written for programmers who want to become exceptional at their craft and for the project manager who wants to hire them.
