You can read the books, you can experiment, you can go on courses. Reading books works for some people but most books go unread, or the words go in one eye and out the other. If you are in management this means you need to engineer a pincer movement: you want enthusiasm for change coming from the bottom up to meet your support coming top down. What I find interesting about this quote is that it aligns with many other change management studies. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, May 14, 2012 Technical debt - developer moans In reality the reverse is just the case, I gave some statistics on this in my blogs last year about Capers Jones book Applied Software Measurement. Software Engineers need to take their work seriously and create code they are proud of. This is not to say they should start gold plating things but being an professional engineer means you don’t do shoddy work. The reason I might accept this reason is that it points to an even bigger problem for the organisation and it does imply engineers are pull in opposite directions. Who writes this stuff?” Getting back on topic. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, February 28, 2012 Version 2 "The Rewrite" - don't do it! - never ever rewrite you system This is real engineering, this is changing the engine oil while the engine is running. Consider this a variation on Same Customer, Different Product pattern ( available online or in the Business Patterns book ). “The second is the most dangerous system a man ever designs” Fred Brooks, 1975 & 1995 Brooks was talking about software designers, architects, but I think the statement holds true not only for all software developers but for the business people who commission replacement systems. From time to time I come across a team who want to rewrite their system. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, August 21, 2012 |

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Requirements and Specifications The first book I picked up was Mike Cohn’s User Stories Applied , the nearest thing the Agile-set has to a definitive text on requirements. The nearest he comes is a reference to “Requirements Engineering” efforts. True Requirements runs throughout the book but doesn’t help me compare and contrast. The fact that so many prominent books duck the question of requirements and specification makes me think this is a fairly common issue. which I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 Requirements whose job are they anyway? The talk title is a reference to the John Le Carre book “Tinker Tailor Solider Spy!” , its probably too clever by half and I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” In this case a Requirements Engineering type is the one who is tasked with understanding need, probably producing excessive documentation, and probably giving it to developers who are then expected to create something. 'Later this week I’m giving a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 What is Agile? At first I thought my notes on Xanpan would be similar to my “Agile Reader” mini-book , then I thought Xanpan would be a replacement for the Agile Reader series, now I’m seeing it as a book format collection of writing that goes beyond Agile Reader and includes new material on Xanpan specifically. Indeed, as Laurent Bossavit described in The Leprechauns of Software Engineering , Royce’s Waterfall model wasn’t even discussed in literature much until Barry Boehm started using it as a counter example to his Spiral Model. What’s happening? The perspectives I see are…. Allan Kelly's Blog - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 | -
| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Using the WCF Web API in an ASP.NET MVC application
All we can do is retrieve a list of books or get an individual one. Book GetBook( int id). {. This means we can use the ASP.NET routing engine. These steps, and adding the required IBooksRepository and its implementation, result in a working service the URL “books” maps to the collection of all books and the URL “books/3” maps to the book with id 3 using the template. Warning: This post is based on a prerelease version of the WCF Web API In my previous blog post I showed how to add to and use the new WCF Web API a console application using NuGet. Enjoy! The Problem Solver - Monday, June 13, 2011 - Verifying JavaScript with JSLint and Visual Studio
Since I do the majority of my work on Windows machines, I’m fortunate enough to have a built-in scripting engine that can run JavaScript without having to install any extra tools. If you’re confused about why it’s saying such simple things like == and ++ are errors, read Douglas’ book or at least read the documentation for JSLint and the other essays on his web site. Douglas Crockford’s JavaScript: The Good Parts is a short, but informative read that all JavaScript developers should probably pick up. It’s too simple, though.

In order to validate it further I went to my old (1992) copy of Roger Pressman’s Software Engineering [[link]] and found the following definition of System Analysis: “. Later in the book he gives the list of the objectives of system analysis: 1. Create a system definition that forms the foundation for all subsequent engineering work If you look at that list 1, 3 (economic) and 5 fit squarely in the BA function while 2, 3 (technical) and 6 fit in the Architect role. When a BA steps into the “how” they are engaging in design and enter the world of Engineers and Architects. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, February 2, 2010 - Factory Physics and software factories
That might sound very negative but actually this book is highly recommended. It is over 600 pages long and was originally written as a text book so can be a little tedious at times. That said its a great book to read with lots of important facts and implications. They talk about the “software factory” or what happens “in the engine room.” For the last few months I’ve been wading through Factory Physics. The reason its difficult to read is nothing to do with the writing - which is actually quite easy going - but more down to the size and the maths. Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, September 19, 2010 %>
