Global IT consultancy ThoughtWorks today announced the publishing of The
ThoughtWorks Anthology, a collection of essays addressing a wide
range of software development issues confronting individuals and
businesses today. The Anthology contains pragmatic advice on
improving effectiveness across the entire software development cycle
from well-known IT industry figures like Martin Fowler and ThoughtWorks
founder Roy Singham, other known ThoughtWorks writers and new authors.
Topics include design, architecture, testing, domain-specific languages,
build and deploy issues, and realizing business value from applications.
The ThoughtWorks Anthology was created with both senior
executives and front-line engineers in mind, and it examines topics at
varying degrees of technological savvy to appeal to a broad spectrum of
readers. Even the most technical articles open with reader-friendly
introductions that can be valuable to non-practitioners, such as CFOs
and other business executives.
“While doing great work for clients is our
day-to-day focus, our larger goal is to elevate the entire IT industry”
said Rebecca Parsons, ThoughtWorks CTO and contributing author to The
ThoughtWorks Anthology. “To that end, we
have always sought to distribute our knowledge and best practices to
clients and colleagues, and The ThoughtWorks Anthology is a great
new avenue to do that.”
The ThoughtWorks Anthology is currently available for purchase
from the Pragmatic Programmer’s website at http://www.pragprog.com/titles/twa.
