Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Software Conflict 2.0: The Art and Science of Software Engineering updates and expands a neglected classic in the field. The nearly 60 essays in this book--always easily digestible, often profound, and never too serious--are the work of pioneer Robert L. Glass, 50 year software veteran, and author or editor of more than 25 books, including the recent bestseller Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering.As loyal Glass readers have come to expect, Software Conflict 2.0 takes up large themes and important questions, never shying away from controversy. Robert Glass has a unique perspective, owing partly to his longevity in the field, partly to his breadth and depth of experience as a practitioner, and partly to his experiences on multiple continents crossing back and forth between the worlds of the university and the professional programming shop.No matter what unique corner of the software engineering world you call home--be it aerospace or e-commerce--whether you are a researcher, hardcore coder, consultant, or manager, Software Conflict 2.0 tackles questions and conflicts that you will recognize. Bob Glass's wide and deep perspective on the art and science of software engineering will widen and deepen your own perspective.Pragmatic Programmer Andy Hunt writes in his Foreword to this book, 'Eleventh-century philosopher Pierre Abelard taught that, 'The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth.' Welcome to Bob's essays on software conflict. Here you'll find the seeds of doubt, some underlying questions, and a fellow seeker.' We couldn't agree more.The first edition of Software Conflict was published circa 1990 and, until now, has been out of print for some time. Why Mainly because that¿s the normal pattern for software books: a new book is hot when it hits the streets, but then trends change, paradigms shift, and eventually the publisher stops placing orders with the printer. As hundreds of new books are published every year, a real treasure can be buried in the shifting sands.Sometimes the significance of a software book transcends the endless cycle of trends and revolutions. In fact, some of the great software books continue to be discussed even decades after their original publication. Why do people keep reading these 'dated' software engineering books Because the insights of these great books are timeless, as valid today as they were yesterday. Because these insights help us become better software professionals, better researchers, better managers. And because the writings of a computing pioneer like Robert L. Glass might just reveal something about where we are today and where we¿re headed.Software Conflict 2.0 features six new essays by Robert Glass and a new Foreword by Andrew Hunt of the Pragmatic Programmers. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Author Robert L. Glass has prepared a guided tour through the personal historical recollections of 18 software pioneers-himself counted among them--including three female pioneers added for this new edition. In the Beginning 2.0: Personal Recollections of Software Pioneers is a history of early computing and software engineering, covering decades and spanning continents. These stories fill in important details of how the age we are living in now was made possible through the ideas and innovations of software practitioners, researchers, and businesspeople. People are at the center of these stories. Every one of the pioneering contributors recognizes by name what amounts to 243 separate people mentioned in this book, many of them more than once by different contributors. Scientists, programmers, designers, clerks, managers, sales people, consultants, professors, investors, generals, inventors, collaborators, innovators, competitors, and nemeses--all these stories are here. The stories also cover a full scope of early computing contexts: business, scientific, laboratory, service computing, and time sharing. On the earth, flying above it, and outside the atmosphere. The Index of this book records 83 companies, 36 organizations, 30 government entities, and 46 schools and universities. Nearly every one of these software stories is intertwined with at least one hardware story, if not several. At least 27 different programming languages are discussed in this book, but also 80 distinct computers and computer models, plus 45 computing technologies. Showing this is no mere collection of yarns, many contributors provide detailed technical explanations that include formulas, diagrams, and examples. The Index records 116 distinct computing concepts and 89 entries for coinage, invention, and early use. The book is tied together and guided along by the well-informed perspective of Robert L. Glass, who gathered these recollections from his fellow pioneers and organized them into a conceptual framework of computing eras and contexts. Glass introduces each chapter and contributes several recollections of his own. The book is illustrated throughout with figures provided by the contributors and with original drawings by P.Edward Presson. In the Beginning 2.0 should stand the test of time as an important contribution to computing and software history. Full list of contributing software pioneers: Robert L. Baber John M.
