Modern Software Engineering
Doing What Works to Build Better Software Faster
I just finished the one of the best audio books I have listened too.
David Farley's 'Modern Software Engineering' is an essential read for those looking to master Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), cornerstones of agile software development. Farley, a CI/CD luminary, presents a compelling argument for how these practices can dramatically improve team collaboration, feedback loops, and adaptability.
The book excels in aligning CI/CD with agile principles, illustrating how they foster a symbiotic relationship. Farley dissects how CI/CD alleviates the commonly stressful release processes, transforming them into routine, low-risk events. This shift is not just procedural but cultural, creating teams that are more engaged, efficient, and focused on quality.
Farley goes beyond theory, including real-world case studies that showcase how implementing CI/CD can lead to fewer production issues and a more robust codebase. The book is a beacon for software teams aiming for high performance and quality, demystifying the complex landscape of modern software engineering.
Whether you're a developer, manager, or technical lead, this book provides the blueprint for achieving agile excellence through CI/CD. It's not just informativeâit's transformative.
