Road to Jane Aimin author of this book is the author reviewed two decades of his own experience, the second time wrote this Road to Jane, this is an "ideological core clarify software engineering," the book, It discusses the engineering, management thinking. The reason is called Road to Jane, because the author wanted this book is easy to understand school, but also easily figured out. Please author begins his friend Jiang Tao preface, in the preface, Jiang Tao proposed Road to Jane book is too thin, but the authors believe thickened contrary to his intention, or else why is it called him to Avenue Jane, which is why this book is only an electronic version of the reasons. Author in the preface also shows that the purpose of writing this book: the authors want you to know that the project is actually very simple, but we do it complicated.
In this book, the author cites a particularly large number of classical, and accurate introduction to readers to express their own ideas, his first chapter: the essence of programming in the programmable compared Foolish Old Man, the programmer than make diligent Foolish Old man; and then again in the second chapter of: method is created lazy cited the example of Li Bing burning stone, the Foolish Old man and Li Bing contrast drawn blindly tedious programming methods using them will not find a more concise way, so that the method is created lazy to say that again.
Author introduces some shots of his conversation with Wang Hao in the article, obviously I do not understand, but I can understand the author is wanted by his dialogue with Wang Hao in let us know: Program = algorithm + data + methods.
In the third chapter of the role and the introduction of the word, he writes that, in an organization, it should not exist , "neither make nor ordered" person, because this person is a blind spot or a black hole. Everyone in the organization should have a clear division of labor and responsibility, everyone is part of the team, after excluding the existence of black holes, the team formed a team model: R model. So when we and their friends or classmates because doing something which consists of a team, so if black holes exist, then I believe this team will soon disband.
In the book the author also raised the issue of communication with customers, said customers should or should not be used to communicate with employees c, I think it certainly is not necessary, c language course, these are used for computer programmers and language exchanges, people with exchanges between our people have to take a language (such as Chinese). After the eye and other procedures to understand the meaning of customers, it will be converted into the language of the computer, if the client computer proficient in all languages that programmers have to do.
The authors write in Chapter 7: Yu Gong issue if stop and think might be gravel "method." The project manager from the details come out, thinking the problem should be completed engineering "methods." So when we're rapt do a certain thing, and if we do not know how to stop and think about it, we will repeat the same approach has been to do so, although this can be done about it, but pay cost must be very high and even we can not afford; whereas if you stop, you must be thinking of ways to reduce costs. So that "evaluation of the quality of this method is only one standard: cost savings."
Personal experience: time prior to reading this Road to Jane, every time I face the problem of programming, always quick to blindly think he wrote it, but the method I use often is time-consuming and laborious belong to the author He said that the "cost" approach is high, after reading this book, I understand, before you start programming, I have to think about in the end what way can they quickly and accurately complete the program, in the end what to do to do to "cost" the lowest. Avoid falling into this trap again.
