Welcome Letter

Dear Software Professional,

The idea for this site came because I felt that a comprehensive map of the software development mine field is needed to help practicing software engineers with their day-to-day work.

Expose yourself to the best things humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you are doing.
—Steve Jobs

Our profession—software engineering—has already more then its fair share of methodologies. What I feel is lacking is enough practitioners who know when to apply a given methodology and know how to measure the effectiveness of its use. Not enough emphasis is placed, I think, on the application of the methodologies to real world projects and I feel that working software engineers don't get practical guidance on how to apply the available knowledge.

This site is set up to help software engineers, their teams and companies increase their software development performance and execute successful software development projects on ever decreasing time tables and with ever increasing quality through more effective application of readily available software engineering knowledge.
