Books on programming from the German survey
An open source professor from a university in Erlangen fouled up a survey about books on agile development. As a result, he didn’t get exactly what he wanted, so he ended up with lists of books on processes and design / programming.
In addition to the classics like “The Pragmatic Programmer” and “The Mythical Man-Month,” there were also new books. In the “Processes” section, for example, the Germans liked the book Fearless Change, written by some American aunts. In general, I do not like all this literature on the introduction of changes - 90% of what came across was stuffy verbiage. But as far as I know the Germans, these guys are really very pragmatic and specific, so there is a hope that if they somehow singled out this book, then it is worth at least a cursory reading. In the table of contents, at the very end, a rather long list of what the authors call patterns for introducing new ideas; as far as I understand, they described there different life patterns of actions in the company and with customers so that changes could be pushed. Those Germans, probably, were bribed - with simple instructions “do this” or “do that way”. And the problem of changes in IT implementations is really serious, I think.
The second book that stumbled over his eyes was Working Effectively with the Legacy Code by Michael Feathers. I wanted to read for a long time how to deal with all this mess. She, well, just came out in Russian - in the Williams publishing house .
')
Well, Fowler, of course, about corporate application templates, if suddenly someone missed last year’s translation .
And Evans for DDD only promise to translate next year. Also must read, I think.
