Timeless Laws of Software Development

by Jerry Fitzpatrick

Most software projects are behind schedule and have dreadful quality. It doesn't have to be that way! The laws described in this book apply to all programming languages, software frameworks and development methodologies. Yet these fundamental laws are routinely violated by most projects. Good intentions and wishful thinking do not impart quality. Neither do software principles and practices if you have the fundamentals wrong. This book is not just for novices. Regardless of your experience level, the laws and techniques in this book will change your view of software development forever.

Was really surprised how much I enjoyed Timeless Laws. I thought I had seen it all with process and it's nice to see a skeptical and critical take on all the agile-not-like aka wing it approaches at all too many places. An easy, short and good read that I think you'll take away some good ideas. I for one am going to take a *new* look at logging and how seldom I look at them and using Asserts much more often and forgo the heavy logs and exceptions. Get a copy!
