Head First Software Development

Pick up this book if you are an absolute beginner as far as Software Development methodology is concerned .. .

The writers were in rare form when they made this. It describes the design practices of software development in a way that really sticks with me. The humor is off-beat and full of little references to nerd culture.The price is also dirt-cheap for a college textbook. I'd recommend this for anyone who knows how to program but not how to plan things out.

Love the layout and structure of the book. It goes through everything in a fun way building on an imaginary project. It shows exactly how you code in an agile project, how to prioritise etc.

Ces manuels sont excellents, mais ne sont intéressants qu'un crayon de papier à la main afin de pouvoir réaliser les nombreux exercices proposés.Ils ne devraient même pas être en vente sous cette forme de mon point de vue....Vu que j'ai du acheter la version papier, il serait décent de proposer le remboursement de la version kindle !...

De todos los libros sobre las técnicas para guiar el desarrollo de software, considero a este libro una muy buena guía para empezar en el mundo del desarrollo agil. Claro que después de este libro deberás ponerlo en práctica y además de ir adquiriendo tus propias experiencias pero definitivamente este libro es un gran paso para las grandes ligas.

This book really helped me plan my iterations and keep track of the burn down rate
