Engineering Software, the third volume in the landmark Write Great
Code series by Randall Hyde, helps you create readable and maintainable
code that will generate awe from fellow programmers.
The field of software engineering may value team productivity over
individual growth, but legendary computer scientist Randall Hyde wants
to make promising programmers into masters of their craft. To that end,
Engineering Software--the latest volume in Hyde's highly regarded
Write Great Code series--offers his signature in-depth coverage of
everything from development methodologies and strategic productivity to
object-oriented design requirements and system documentation.
