“Companies have been implementing large agile projects for
a number of years, but the ‘stigma’ of ‘agile
only works for small projects’ continues to be a frequent
barrier for newcomers and a rallying cry for agile critics. What
has been missing from the agile literature is a solid, practical
book on the specifics of developing large projects in an agile way.
Dean Leffingwell’s book Scaling Software
Agility fills this gap admirably. It offers a practical
guide to large project issues such as architecture, requirements
development, multi-level release planning, and team...

986. |  By: Randall Hyde Publisher: No Starch Press Publication Date: 01-NOV-2004 Insert Date: 18-JAN-2007 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Write Great Code
If you've asked someone the secret to writing efficient,
well-written software, the answer that you've probably gotten is
"learn assembly language programming." By learning assembly
language programming, you learn how the machine really operates and
that knowledge will help you write better high-level language code.
A dirty little secret assembly language programmers rarely admit
to, however, is that what you really need to learn is machine
organization, not assembly language programming.

uncertainty, software estimation is not as hard or mysterious as
people think. However, the art of how to create effective cost and
schedule estimates has not been very well publicized. While the
average software organization can struggle with project costs that
run double their original estimates, some of the more sophisticated
organizations achieve results with estimation errors as low as
5-10%. These best-in-class organizations use scientific techniques
that are not cost-effective, however, making them of limited use...
