الكتاب مقسم إلى جزئين: عملية تطوير وصناعة البرمجيات - عملية إدارة تطوير وصناعة البرمجيات.
الجزء الأول موجّه بشكل أساسي للمطورين ومهندسي البرمجيات، والجزء الثاني موجّه إلى شريحة أوسع.
الكتاب في جزئه الأول، مختصر، مُقسّم بطريقة جيدة إلى عناوين رئيسية وفرعية، يقوم بتوضيح المصطلحات التقنية الجديدة ويعطي أمثلة لها. على الرغم أن الكتاب والتقنيات التي بداخله تستخدم بشكل أكثر فعالية في البرمجيات التي تعمل على نطاق كبير من الموارد والمستخدمين (enterprise-level software) إلا انه يمكن تطبيق الكثير من تلك التقيات على المشاريع لصغيرة والتجريبيبة. قد يكون ما غاب عن الكاتب هو ضرب الأمثلة العملية أو وضع نماذج مختلفة في نهاية كل فصل.

Very clear book. Clear language, easy to understand examples, lots of practical tips. probably a little bit too simple for the current world in which the boundary between software, app and purely cloud based development gets more and more blurry.

I read this for a course on Programming and Design for a Computer Science Credential. It was clear and readable for this topic!

This book is really good at explaining things to those of us that are new to Software Engineering, now I really want to put these methodologies to the test.
