ABSTRACT

Kevin Tate, Addison-Wesley Professional, 2005, $39.99, ISBN: 0321286081

Our software engineering community has for decades flirted with the idea of applying the rigor of other engineering disciplines to the development of software. This book boldly argues against this metaphor. Buildings are expensive to modify and typically static, whereas software is cheap to modify and evolves over its lifetime.
