Identifying Systems of Software Engineering

Whether it’s Agile Software Development or Test Driven Development, every year new systems of code and project management spring up like tullips. Each one comes with loyal devotees who swear by it and denounce all the other heathen religions.

Scott Berkun feels that none of the current models accurately describe the way software development actually happens. Sure, you may be aspiring to adhere to the tenants of the Rational Unified Process (RUP), but isn’t Asshole Driven Development (ADD) a more accurate description? Or maybe Cover Your Ass Engineering (CYAE)?

Check out Scott’s full list and be sure to read the user submitted additions.

    Hi Kevin, this isn’t the right place to ask but since I found no other way to contact you. I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your Rails training on Lynda. But since I’m done with that now – when will the next title be out? Will there be a – beyond the basics?

    Regards
    Fredrik from Sweden.

    Thanks for the kind words, Fredrik. I’m glad it was helpful.

    For future reference, you can get in touch with me directly using ‘kevin’ at either nullislove.com or pixelandpress.com.

    I am recording Ruby on Rails: Beyond the Basics early next month. Most likely it will be out in late July or early August. I’ll announce it here when it’s online. I’m also going to try to post periodic mini-tutorials on the blog. Stay tuned!
