Software Generalist

Reprinted from www.DumpAnalysis.org/blog

Motivated by the following book title that I bought a month ago:

The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing

I decided to convert my library into a beautifully illustrated color book called

The OpenTask Guide to Modern Software Engineering Writing

I plan to update it yearly with new titles that come to my attention. The first edition is planned for this summer and has the following draft product details:

• Title: The OpenTask Guide to Modern Software Engineering Writing, 2008 Edition

• Language: English
• Product Dimensions: 21.6 x 14.0
• ISBN-13: 978-1-906717-04-9
• Paperback: 128 pages

Draft table of contents and sample chapter will be posted soon.

Here I would talk about everything that Programmer Universalis should know about. I will also put software engineering book reviews here like I did for another my blog Literate Scientist. All books reviewed are from my software engineering library.

Blog to Book approach is one of the practices of IIPP (Iterative and Incremental Publishing Process) I devised and implemented for Crash Dump Analysis books.
