{"product_id":"software-creativity-2-0-paperback","title":"Software Creativity 2.0 - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"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.\" --Robert L. Glass, from the Preface In 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: * Are discipline and formality at odds with flexibility and agility? * When are control-driven vs. experimentation-driven approaches most effective? * Can we \"make creativity happen\" in a software organization? * Which is more important, process or product? * How do theory and practice interact in the software field? Can practitioners and academe complement each other more effectively? * Is there a missing link between creativity and software design? * What is the balance of \"intellectual\" and \"clerical\" tasks in software work? * Can we still find a place for plain old fun? Revised, 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":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50141279486175,"sku":"9780977213313","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/bTRZL3V0ZFExR1N1TkN1ZkdXbHZRZz09.webp?v=1781726436","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/software-creativity-2-0-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
