"Rapid Development"

Posted: 04-11-2006, 02:19 AM
I just noticed a book sitting on the floor underneath a colleague's desk. It's called
"Rapid Development" and is published by Microsoft Press. Hilarious!!!

Subtitle is "Taming Wild Software Schedules"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/155...925610-1379162
I can hear some of you exclaiming, "How can you possibly recommend a book about software scheduling published by Microsoft Press and
written by a consultant to Microsoft?!" Well, put aside any preconceived biases. This is a tremendous book on effective scheduling
software development, and it drinks deeply from the wisdom of all the classics in the field such as Brook's Mythical Man Month --
and is likely well-informed by McConnell's experiences, good and bad, in Redmond.
The nine page section entitled "Classic Mistakes Enumerated" is alone worth the price of admission and should be required reading
for all developers, leads, and managers.
Cheers, Roman

Uh, do you think that Microsoft has a reputation for rapid development?
