{"product_id":"9780977213313","title":"Software Creativity 2. 0","description":"\"This book is written from a powerfully felt, personal perspective: that software construction is primarily a problem-solving activity; that all problem-solving requires creativity; that software problem-solving is deeply complex, perhaps more deeply complex than any other activity; and that, therefore, software problem-solving requires the ultimate in creativity.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Robert L. Glass, from the Preface\u003cp\u003eIn Software Creativity 2.0, acclaimed author Robert L. Glass explores a critical, yet strangely neglected, question: What is the role of creativity in software engineering and computer programming? With his trademark easy-to-read style and practical approach, backed by research and personal experience, Glass takes on a wide range of related angles and implications. To name only a few:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Are discipline and formality at odds with flexibility and agility?\u003cbr\u003e* When are control-driven vs. experimentation-driven approaches most effective?\u003cbr\u003e* Can we \"make creativity happen\" in a software organization?\u003cbr\u003e* Which is more important, process or product?\u003cbr\u003e* How do theory and practice interact in the software field? Can practitioners and academe complement each other more effectively?\u003cbr\u003e* Is there a missing link between creativity and software design?\u003cbr\u003e* What is the balance of \"intellectual\" and \"clerical\" tasks in software work?\u003cbr\u003e* Can we still find a place for plain old fun?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevised, updated, and expanded, Software Creativity 2.0 also features a new Foreword by Tom DeMarco, author of Peopleware, and a new Preface by author Robert L. Glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Read Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49792029065456,"sku":"9780977213313","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780977213313","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
