Modern Software Engineering: An Engineering Discipline for Software in the Age of Agile Development and Continuous Delivery

Personally experienced lot of difference in the way i look at developing software after reading "Modern Software Engineering", at the outset it may looks like something that every experience engineer is aware but changes the perspective in many aspect once you go through!!I request Dave Farley to release a south asian version, the global one is quite expensive in this region. Four stars only because of the pricing otherwise, i would call it five star.Dave Farley's "Continuous Delivery" is a must follow channel

I loved this book, from start to end. All topics were well founded with a good amount of good examples. I understand that people expect more practical examples with real scenarios, but as stated by David, the book is not a recipe to achieve quality, but a foundation based on ingredients that are likely to lead your development to success. The examples given were simple, to illustrate and have a starting point to describe an idea. It's not only about coding my fellow friends, it's much more.

A very useful run-through of concepts for approaching matters relating to development. Placing development within the context of empirical discovery and science is very beneficial for the developer seeking the “big picture”. The book is also valuable as an entry point to branch out to other resources that the author cites.

He compares engineering allot with software development. One has an hypothesis and tries to confirm or reject it via tests and experiments on the software stack on hand.Overall it is a great read.

Thank you Dave

A book of words, waffle, repetition and virtually zero concrete examples to illustrate the points. The underlying concepts are valuable, but are mostly well known already and explained better in other books. It's really frustrating that great engineers seem to make terrible authors.
