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

amazing book !

I’ve been involved in building various kinds of software for nearly 20 years now (the book describes this as engineering, rather than building), and this book describes very well of what we should aim to when building software and this very much matches my personal perception of that. The book covers very fundamental subjects, yet it is really easy to read. We should not really treat ideas described in this book as dogma, but I believe that every software engineer, software developer, programmer or whatever they call themselves should read this book.

Describes many important concepts, and makes clear why those concepts matter. Such concepts are incrementalism, feedback, separation of concerns, abstraction, ... Some technical concepts are explained somewhere else in more depth, but I think that's fine: The book provides a good overview.

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 collection of interesting approaches and insights on how to become or remain a modern software engineer.
