10 MOST POWERFUL IDEAS IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
As software engineering approaches its 40th birthday, do we know which software development ideas matter most? In this talk, award-winning author Steve McConnell identifies 10 of the most powerful ideas in software engineering. McConnell explains how the 10 ideas form the foundation for effective software development, and he shows how practices ranging from the waterfall model to extreme programming measure up. He uses these key ideas to explain which currently popular software engineering practices will withstand the test of time and which are fleeting fads. This talk will give software developers, QA specialists and managers an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day rush of their work and gain insight into the key issues of software development.
