The Leverage Principle: A Software Architect's Guide to Optimizing Development and Operations (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "The Leverage Principle: A Software Architect's Guide to Optimizing Development and Operations (en Inglés)"
One definition of leverage is using something to maximum advantage. The goal for every software development project should be to utilize every asset - everything you've previously built, everything your team learned about the business needs and domain, and every skill and bit of expertise in a technology platform. Utilize these previous investments rather than creating them new every single time. Not only is it wasteful and expensive to rebuild assets that have already been created, it jeopardizes your company's success. Key questions addressed in The Leverage Principle: - How can I streamline our software development projects and decrease waste? - How can I quantify our technical debt? - How can I manage code complexity? - What are some effective methods for working with legacy code? - How can DevOps be more effectively managed? - How can I build high performance development teams? The Leverage Principle offers techniques for extending software life, reducing cost, and streamlining project development and operations. The overall approach is pragmatic rather than academic. This book is written by an engineer, rather than a manager, resulting in an "in the trenches" feel. This book assumes familiarity with Agile, Scrum, Test Driven Development, Continuous Integration, Refactoring, Reviews, Incremental Development, Continuous Delivery, Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing, and System Testing.
