Bitter Java
(Manning Publications Company)
by Bruce A. Tate
Bruce Tate has, with Bitter Java, created another of the rare
captivating works in the software field. I couldn't put it down. As with DeMarco's
Morovian kidnapping, Bruce's personal "extreme sports"
kyaking, mountain biking,and hot-air balloning adventures carried me from
"hydraulic" point to point, paddling as fast as I could to get
to the next pattern or point. As with Guy Steele, I
couldn't wait for the next successive insight; and as with DeMarco,
I just couldn't put Bitter Java down. (Learn more at

Libra : Learning and Inquiry-Based Reuse Adoption
(IEEE press)
by Sidney C. Bailin, Mark A. Simos, Larry Levine, Richard Creps
"I strongly believe that the real killer risks lie
in the human domain. In fact, this is what the Libra methodology is all
about - see the book I and 3 others published last year about this (it has
good cartoons, which pretty much tell the story, so even if you're not up
to reading it...)." -Dr. Sidney Bailin
This book presents an inquiry-based approach to software reuse and
adoption that suggests practical techniques for assessing an
organization's readiness for reuse, as well as potential barriers. The
techniques integrate reuse concepts with a diverse set of other
disciplines, including organizational learning, dramatic theory, and
belief mapping to affirm the role of culture and attitude in engineering
success. |
