On March, at the annual SD West Conference, the 14th Jolt Award of the Wanzhong finally landed. Jolt big awards have "software industry
The 誉 美 美 誉 通 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分 分And three "Productivity Awards". A technique is only the mainstream of the industry after obtaining the Jolt Award. A technical book is only after obtaining the Jolt Award. Self-supplier Jolt Cola's advertising words are "shocking world", Jolt Award let us see, who is shocking our world today. General class book "General class books" means applicable to various software project development, Books that do not stick to specific technologies. Tom Demarco and Tim Lister's works "Waltzing with Bears, Tsinghua University Publishing House" (Tsinghua University Press History) Gets the shocking grand prize of General class books, and it is a lot of expectations. The greater the risk The bigger return is also larger - especially in the software industry. Enterprises that escape the risk will soon be thrown away from the competitors. However, because the managers are not prudent, software companies are often placed in a embarrassing two difficulties. State: Either risk and fail, either avoid risks and backward. In fact, if it is not because of the loss of risk management, most software companies, most software projects can do not have to be like this is distressed. Tom Demarco has a special thing. I can always know that everyone seems to know that it is clear that it is clear that it is clear that he is greeted by his experience in this industry. For software people who are generally deficient in risk awareness, This "Dance with the Bear" undoubtedly there is an effect of 醍醐 醍醐 顶. On the next day, the first batch of Chinese readers got a Chinese translation of "Dance and Bear", there is still a fun little. The story. At the end of the year, the original book has not yet been sold, and even the cover design has not been finalized. I picked it on the Dorset's book, decided to use it as a 2003 key translation project. Select this There are two reasons for this book: one I have translated Mr. Demarco's "deadline", and Mr. Demarco respects; two for this book's name - I and Miss, the editor of Tsinghua University Press, just The name of the name, this book is in our next here. It is a book to choose a book for an interesting name, but it hits the future winner of the Jolt Award. This is also a chance. Even The name of Demarco and Lister, can't cover the remaining "Productivity Award" winner. Alix Programming Arts "(The Art of Unix Programming, Electronic Industry Press, is a free software community The masterpiece is looking forward to this tells UNIX programming The book of thought is quoted in the process of UNIX development, and is also aware of the famous "missionary" Raymond, the winning call is extremely high. Another "productivity award" winner is from the Pragmatic Starter Kit from "Benist Programmers" Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt, which is the first introduction of the first entry for "using this or the programmer". attention. From the winning list of General Class Books, we vaguely see some of the signs of bloodline: Master's work is always masterpiece - let's still remember "deadline" and "person", we certainly remember the pragmatic programmer, we certainly I still remember the "Cathedral and Market". Such a bloodline has also added a bit reasonable to the idol worship of the programmer: as long as you follow your trust, he will always specify the direction.
The winning prize of technical book Test-Driven Development, in the history of Jolt Awards, I will play a legendary "Idea": 2002, AliStair Cockburn "Agile Software Development" gains General Book Productivity Award; 2003, Robert Martin's book is awarded the General Class Book Shock Award; in the same year, Kent Beck's "test driver development" won the Technical Book Productivity Award; this year, Test-Driven Developments with Kent Beck this book also got a technical book shock . The whole story is like a fate. It seems that if you want to get the next year's Jolt Award, a good way is to choose a copy of this year's productivity award winner, then write a book. If the Kent Beck's TDD is the battle of the test-driven development method, then David Astels's TDD is the tactical manual of agile developers - it is not difficult to know the extent of its detailed extent from its 600 pages. In the book, the author not only introduces JUnit not only, but also lists other brothers and sisters in the XUnit family. However, the book is the most attractive or its third part. In this section, the author explains in detail how a real Java project is tested from head to tail. If you have doubts about the implementation of test driver development in the real world, this part should let you rest assured. The legend of "bloodline" is finally unspeakled from the CONTRIBUTING TO Eclipse, which is not attacking --kent beck and Eric Gamma, although nominations are obtained, but eventually do not gain nominations. The selection is slightly naturally one of the reasons for this book, but this book is developed through the Eclipse plugin, and the work of software development thoughts will eventually be inconsistent into the eye of the judge, it is about mainly because of life - just in this year. Competitors are so strong. Scott Ambler is a cowherry in database activation technology, a "database reconstruction" article is enough to set off an uproar in agile community, and Agile Database Techniques has long promising the agile developers who have to walk with the database. Code Reading is also a great name. Today, in Open Source, the programmer is not "how to better read the code of others" and ask for it. However, the names of these two books add up to the About Face 2.0 of the Alan Cooper, which books. As the top master of interactive user interface, Cooper has a designed idea of software design, especially user interface design, and his About Face has been regarded as milestones for software interface design. In this book, Cooper tells software developers: interface design is not just technical issues, but also more than just aesthetics, there are many knowledge in the fields of psychology, behavioral science. Another masterpiece of Alan Cooper "The Medicine Management Madhouse" is renamed "Software Innovation Road" by China's publisher, and the Zhongbei is lost. If there is a publisher to introduce this About Face 2.0, I hope they don't modify this book name - especially the version number. Shock = trend in technology products, we can see the trend of the world from the list of winners. What is the best IDE? The Jolt Award tells you: Yes Eclipse. What is the best framework? The Jolt Award tells you: Yes Hibernate. What is the most useful technical website? The Jolt Award tells you: Yes IBM Developer Works - From this list you can't see another implicit fact: the most striking technical platform and technical community last year is J2EE.
