Best-selling
author Steve McConnell provides a
compelling argument for turning software success into an
everyday habit by advancing the software profession itself-at
the individual, organizational, and industry levels. Expanding
on the contents of his previous book
After the Gold Rush,
the author dispels common myths of software development.

Software development can be predictable,
cont-rollable, economical, and manageable. Software isn't
usually developed that way, but it can be developed that way.
This book is about the emerging profession of software
engineering—and professional software practices that support
economical creation of high-quality software. - If you
develop software for a living, this book will explore what you
need to do to become a truly professional software developer.
- If you manage software projects, this book will
summarize the differences between poorly run and well run
software projects and overview what you can do to make your
projects more successful. - If you manage a software
organization, this book will outline the benefits available
from systematic approaches to software development and sketch
what you need to do to realize those benefits. - If you
are a student who wants to work in the software field, this
book will introduce you to the body of knowledge that makes up
the field of software engineering and show you what a career
in software engineering will look like.
