Editorial Reviews
Review
A remarkable book that provides a unique perspective on modern software development. A distinctive and unusual feature is the way modern software development principles are explained holistically in terms of all project activities. The focus on key employment skills and knowledge also makes it a must read for aspiring developers –Chris Beaumont PhD FBCS FHEA, Chair of Examiners, NCC Education
I wish this book was around when I was starting out 30 years ago. It’s a manual for all aspects of software development and the scope of the role in business, rather than focusing on being a ‘coder’. I particularly like the fact it includes client aspects, which are usually forgotten! –Andy Doyle, Director, Nice Group (SW) Ltd
Software Development in Practice takes the guesswork out of your journey into tech. From term definitions, Agile practices and clean code tips, this book is my go-to resource for anyone breaking into the tech industry. I especially appreciate the emphasis on communication, collaboration and user experience. –Sjoukje Ijlstra, Software Engineer, JP Morgan
