Professional Software Development

Professional Software Development, by Steve McConnellProfessional Software Development

Are you delivering 90 percent of your software on time, within budget, and fully meeting users’ real requirements? Would you like to? Believe it or not, software development can be predictable, controllable, economical, and manageable. Professional Software Development is about the emerging profession of software engineering – and professional software practices that support economical creation of high-quality software. Best-selling author Steve McConnell gives a compelling argument for turning software success into an everyday habit by advancing the software profession itself – at the individual, organizational, and industry levels – dispelling common myths of software development. Programmers,developers, engineers, and anyone else who works in software development will benefit from reading this book.
