Introspection: Lidor Wyssocky's articles on Optimizing Software Development.
We want our software products to be better. But, we want developers to progress and improve themselves as well. Quality must be reflected in the way developers think, solve problems, design, and write code. These skills require both awareness of internal quality and the extensive knowledge and experience needed to achieve it.
We need a method that helps identify and fix code quality problems as soon as possible, but also teaches developers how to work better and achieve quality to begin with. We need a method that will help us nurture professional software developers.
"Honesty" is a strange topic for a book claiming to be about business and management. What does honesty have to do with business strategy or managing people in a business organization? It is a rough world out there, with competitors, regulators, employees, managers, interests, agendas, alliances, and traps. What does any of this have to do with being honest? Unfortunately, in many cases the answer is nothing.
In February 2006, while my first book was still being reviewed and edited, I've decided to start writing about a topic that was lying in the back of my mind for quite some time.
I didn't know (and still don't) if I can turn it into a "real book", or how it will evolve, so I've decided to share it with you as it is being written. Why? Mainly because I appreciate your feedback. I hope you will enjoy reading the book as it evolves.
The chapters written so far are listed below. All of them are in PDF format and all of them are merely first drafts.

Your feedback is important to me! Tell me what you think about the book so far.
