• Christmas reading: Classic essays on software development
  
  There are many, many books about software development. Arguments made by Conway explain much of what actually happens in software development. So, if you have one developer writing the entire system it will be all entangled, few interfaces and difficult for anyone else to work with. And if you have half a dozen developers who don’t communicate you will get six different coding styles, and six versions of most common functions. If you are one of these developers who think the best code will always win the day you need to read this. Java, C++, Apache,NET, etc.

• The final sustainable edge
  
  When I started reading the book I thought one of the pillars of this was going to be the development of your employees. Given how much trouble software developers have actually implementing “loose coupling” (and the corresponding “high cohesion”) one wonders how much trouble business will have with it. Two reasons: first, the workers are more highly qualified; second, because this is a green-field site, and costs are lower, many of the “best practices” of management can be followed to help develop the workers. See 20 August , and 18 August.) m not sure of this. think not.

• Lean Question and Answer
  
  A student at Fullerton University in California e-mailed a lot of people on the Lean Software Development mailing list with some questions for his masters thesis. How would you define lean development? The strictest definition of Lean Development would be to say it is a methodology proposed by the Poppendiecks ( Lean Software Development )based on lean manufacturing and product development. Personally my definition is: Lean Software Development is one application of the principles of Organizational Learning to the software development environment.

• Product Management conference
  
  Much to my surprise they believe there are about 90,000 to 110,000 Product Managers in the UK, which equates to one Product Manager for every nine developers. Finally, perhaps the most surprising thing at the conference was the reaction to one session about Agile Software Development. Second: the Agile story is very compelling if you know a little about software development. The problem with the Agile story is: unless you know a little about software development already then it doesn’t sound any different to anything else. So what did I learn? Back to the conference.

• LinkedIn: good thing? Bad thing?
  
  I'm also on OpenBC but I've not spent so much time developing my profile and connections there.) In part, despite my rational above I still imagine it could put me in contact with someone useful. I’ve got an account on LinkedIn , and I’ve got a whole bunch of connections. If you don’t know LinkedIn it is a social network site with a work focus - believe the hype and you’ll find your next job through it. Once you’ve signed up you can add your “connections” and see who links to who, kind of. If your interested here is my link So, why do I play with it? Why do I keep adding contacts?
