Known for his ability to find provocative answers to the most puzzling questions, Tom DeMarco explores a wide range of issues in twenty-four masterful essays.
The offerings range from the wise to the kooky -- in fact, many of them defy categorization. But all are marked by the author's eye-opening perspectives on topics that demand your professional attention.
Drawing together several essays published in such journals as IEEE Software and American Programmer, plus ten all-new papers never seen beyond his circle of colleagues, Tom DeMarco tackles a multitude of tough subjects and wrestles fresh insight out of them. Here's a compact, compelling edition of this acclaimed consultant's views on software engineering.
Subjects include: management-aided engineering, documentation, desktop video, productivity, software factories, teams, measurement, icons, and more!

DeMarco did it again. This book fully achieves the two things i expect from any good book: it made me laugh and it made me think. It made me laugh about the crazy industry we are working in, and it made me think about my own managerial techniques (or the lack of them). It is true that it contains some essays about things that do not seem to be appropiate, but the A/V essay is very interesting, and does show that software costs can be reduced with creativity instead of pressure.
Format:Taschenbuch
It seems that in every field of human endeavor, there are things that are true, but for whatever reason are unspoken and ignored. The reasons for this are many, but a partial list includes: fear of failure, fear of losing face, time pressures, rigid rules and tradition. Software development is no different and Tom DeMarco is a speaker of the truth. In this collection of marvelous essays, he points out many of the well-known but neglected principles that generate problems in software projects.
The leading essay points out that software creation is hard and we demand a great deal from our software. So much of our societal infrastructure is controlled by software and most of it built in a relatively short time. Furthermore, there is no legacy of experience in building software that there is for building hard infrastructure items such bridges and roads. We are still conducting what is essentially on the job training.
Another simple, significant, yet overlooked point is that the sociology of a project is more important than the technology. The efficiency of a programmer during any individual day is often influenced more by the fight with a boyfriend or girlfriend than it is by having the latest tools. Software is built by the effective working of the human brains and the tools just make the output easier to capture.
Once again, DeMarco is at his best, namely when he is writing more about sociology and psychology than about the technical aspects of computing. This book should be mandatory reading for anyone in the process of building a development team.

If you like DeMarco`s style of writing, you will not only read an very interesting book about some rather widely spread items of project management, but also get some of DeMarco`s great entertaining essays. I wonder, what I`ve learned from "Desktop Video: A Tutorial", but it`s been fun reading.
All in all, most essays are worthwile reading and I enjoyed it very much. I am trying to implement all ideas I agree to in my daily management tasks.

Do you work as a software engineer or software manager?
Then I think this is a required read. It's funny, insightful and so true to life it's almost scary.

Some great some not
Some of the essays are great. Some don't even seem pertinent. For example, there is a discussion about A/V equipment that, while humorous, felt out of place. Lesen Sie weiter...
