'Wired for Innovation' and the Trouble with business value
I stopped reviewing books in this blog a while ago but, having said a few words about Domain Driven Design Using Naked Objects last time I want to say a few words about another book I’ve just finished reading: Wired for Innovation: How Information Technology Is Reshaping the Economy . For anyone who is concerned with the future of IT, technology in general, and improving the state of the art this book is well worth reading. At a little over 100 pages and £10 it is worth the investment. The book is written by two academics, and it is a bit academic in tone and

Product ratings should be high
Same goes for books and products and restaurants. read the reviews on Yelp and Chowhound and check their menus online before walking in the door. buy electronic products after reading the reviews on Newegg and studying the specs. read reviews and watch interviews with the authors before picking up a book. I recently signed up for a Netflix trial account and rated around 300 movies. I

  • Book review: Minimalism Beyond the "Nurnberg Funnel" and thoughts on documentation
    Still I think I may have read the wrong book, a better starting place for this subject would of been the authors first book on the subject The Nurnberg Funnel . Both books discuss the same concept, namely minimalism in technical documentation. However the newer book (Beyond) is not so much an introduction to the subject but a review of how the ideas had developed in 8 years. I can’t remember where I came across Minimalism Beyond the Nurnberg Funnel but I’m glad I did. So I think the earlier book may have been a better starting position.

  • Book review: Software Ecosystems
    Software Ecosystem by Messerschmitt and Szyperski (2003) is a book that was recommended to me about a year ago, a book I bought about 9 months ago, and one I started reading about four months ago. The book is interesting, the book is useful, the book does offer some insights into the software industry, the business of software and how software effects our business. I’m sorry to say I’ve only made it as far page 77 and I’m putting it on the shelf. Yes I have learned things from this book.

  • Book review: The Box
    Fortunately its also given me time to finish off another book - The Box by Marc Levinson Yes this book was short-listed for the FT book of the year by that wasn't why I read it. I would have read this book anyway because... I'd recommend this book for three reasons: its a good story, its an easy read and third its educational. A couple of days off work with a stinking cold has given me a lot of time lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. well, I've got a thing about ships and even containers.

  • Book review: IT Success!
    I share a publishing house (John Wiley & Sons) and and editor with this book so you might consider my opinions biased. However I had no idea this book was being written and produced at about the same time as mine. The first I knew about this books’ existence was a mention in the FT . I’ve just finished reading IT Success! (yes, yes, there is an exclamation mark there) by Michael Gentle and I’m glad I did.

  • Book review: Siemens Best Practises
    For once a review of a book I'm not recommending. In fact I found Knowledge Management Case Book: Siemens Best Practises quite disappointing. I bought this book for two reasons. So I thought a book of case studies would shed some light on it. Not what I hoped for at all. First knowledge management (KM for short) is so often a soft and vague kind of subject.

  • Book review: Weinberg on Writing
    I write this blog, I occasionally contribute to ACCU journals – although I have contributed a lot more in the past – and I’m half way to writing a book. (I Recently, I’ve become aware of the need to improve my writing so I thought I’d so in the time honoured way: by reading a book. When someone recommended Weinberg on Writing I decided this was the book for me. As regular readers will have noticed I Write . I expect to sign the contract before Christmas now.)

  • Book review: The Search (Battelle)
    This is one of those books that got a lot of publicity last year, silly thing is, the anti-hype person inside of me tends to automatically avoid books that get a lot of hype. So, it wasn’t until one of my colleagues at work, Julian, suggested I read this book that I actually bought a copy, then it took me a couple of months to actually find time to read it. Now I have I’m glad I did and While I was in Russia I got to do a lot of reading, in fact, I started The Search (John Battelle, 2005) on the plan to Moscow and finished it a week later on the flight back to London.
