This practical book lets you explore the other 90%--everything from requirements discovery and rapid prototyping to business analysis and designing for maintainability. Instead of providing neatly packaged advice from on high, author Gregory Brown presents detailed examples of the many problems developers encounter, including the thought process it takes to solve them.</p><p>He does this in an unusual and entertaining fashion by making you the main character in a series of chapter-length stories. As these stories progress, the examples become more complex, and your responsibilities increase. Together, these stories take you on a journey that will make you question and refine the way you think about, and work on, software projects.</p><p>Steps in this unique journey include: </p><ul><li>Using prototypes to explore project ideas</li><li>Spotting hidden dependencies in incremental changes</li><li>Identifying the pain points of service integrations</li><li>Developing a rigorous approach towards problem-solving</li><li>Designing software from the bottom up</li><li>Data modeling in an imperfect world</li><li>Gradual process improvement as an antidote for over-commitment</li><li>The future of software development</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Gregory Brown has run the independently published Practicing Ruby journal since 2010, and is the original author of the popular Prawn PDF generation library.<br/><br/>In his consulting projects, Gregory has worked with key stakeholders in companies of all sizes to identify core business problems that can be solved with as little code as possible.<br/><br/>Gregory's relentless focus on the 90% of programming work that isn't just writing code is what lead him to begin working on Programming Beyond Practices.</p>
