Able to improve their reading, while also under the teacher's request, I borrowed from the library a number of professional related software engineering books, some say the development of technology, some software requirements, some software theory, and "Dreaming in Code" is in storytelling, after reading it I realized: I have not really understood the true face of real software development work. For software development industry, I only hear the teacher talked about the rare, known only seen it on the tip of the iceberg almost, "1/3 coding, 2/3 document " is probably the most familiar to my understanding of software development. And "Dreaming in Code" shows the author writing the way real work experience, and are leading experts, as a software engineering majors, this information is extremely valuable to me.
Dream of hosted, it is done - the gates of hell wide open on this.
In 1975 winter, the author has been playing both games, but also in the " play " the game, then he will be able to treat the program as a game, to indulge in their " software time " . Like me, but in engineering practice, this is not funny.
Before going to university, I thought, do just like software architecture, construction technology developed after many years, there will be a standard system of the construction industry, with the design drawings, with a reasonable construction plan, all employees of efforts, skyscrapers, dams or bridges will be completed just around the corner. However, the software is not like this, programming is no longer in its infancy, our world is dependent on the infinite complexity of the software, after half a century-long study and practice, community programming classic textbook authors Gartner still feeling " software difficult to do " . "Mythical Man-Month," the difficulty of software development have been proposed and analyzed why. Today, all areas are inseparable from software, the software is so fragile, so the authors say " necessary for human survival are tied to the computer code that root easily broken line ," We have never been so totally dependent on a human I do not know how to do well the products.
However, the software is not like this, "Mythical Man-Month" has been pointed out the difficulty of software development, "Dreaming in Code" put forward a number of actual cases of
