Brasten's Book Suggestion
July 26, 2005 @ 05:54 AMAnother book suggestions coming at you.
If you’re into software development where you have more than one developer and have stakeholders (a boss, a customer, etc), then you are likely already practicing some form of development methodology, even if you don’t know it. Unfortunately, my current place of employment has next to no development methodology whatsoever, so I spend a LOT of time reading up on the various development styles to keep my brain fresh on that topic.
One of the more recent development methodologies is called Agile… Agile encompasses a larger group of methodologies including the more popular eXtreme Programming (XP).
So I picked up this book called Agile & Iterative Development by Craig Larman. I’m only 50 pages in or so, but it’s great thus far! Nothing mind-numbingly new, of course. I’m well aware of Agile development principles. But it does a great job of laying out a lot of the differences between Agile and Waterfall, as well as the different Agile flavors.
Worth checking out.
