The Dirty Secret of Computer Science
I’ve long thought that Donald Knuth had it right when he titled his books The Art of Computer Programming . Creating software bears some resemblance to art as in the work of an artist. Software artisans use the tools and techniques of modern software development to create the wide variety of software that entertains us and runs our businesses. The term "computer science" is a laughable misnomer. Outside of universities and operating system development, there isn’t a lot of computer science involved in the daily grind of computer programming.

Architecture or Design?
I should say before we go too far that when I talk about Architecture I’m thinking software architecture. And when I talk about Architects I’m thinking about the architecture of software. I’m not thinking of network architecture, or business architecture, of course these topics are connected with software architecture but we need to narrow the topic down a little. I mentioned the A word in my last post ( Are there any System Analysts out there? ). As regular readers might have noticed, I have over the years of this blog taken the odd pot-shot at Architects .

Are there any System Analysts out there?
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: “... system analysis defines the roles of each element in a computer-based system, ultimately allocating the role that software will play” Pressman doesn’t define the System Analyst’s role still, it seems logical that a System Analyst is someone who does system analysis . Has anyone met a System Analysts lately? I ask because I’ve been looking for over a year and can’t find one. I should say immediately I’m

  • 10 things to know about Kanban software development
    1) Kanban software development originated by David Anderson . 6) There are currently no books on Kanban software development. There is one that comes close, Corey Ladas ScrumBan - Essays on Kanban Systems for Lean Software Development . I’ve read this book and I’m not rushing to recommend it. Many of the practices and heuristics have been seen on other Agile teams before but they were first described as a cohesive whole by David. David’s innovation was to explicitly limit the work in progress. This had been done by other Agile teams before but in Kanban

  • Make strategy like you make software?
    There is an interesting piece in the latest issue of the MIT Sloan Review entitled: Should you build strategy like you build software? I can imagine some managers initial reaction: What? After all, we are regularly told that 70% of IT projects fail, and a few months ago the same journal ran a piece damning software development and specifically ERP systems: The Trouble with Enterprise Software So why would anyone want to copy what IT does? IT is such a total disaster why would we want to make strategy the same way? Well, believe it or not there is something interesting

  • 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.

  • Agile software development: a prototype for all knowledge work?
    Last week I reviewed Thinking for a Living , I’d like to pick up one or two points raised in this book and discuss them a little further. These are not points exclusive to Davenports work but having just read the book its a convenient focus for these thoughts. I’m convinced that software developers (programmers, testers, product managers, etc. etc.) fail to recognise themselves as knowledge workers .

  • 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.
