Stories from around the ranch

Ulf reviewed The ThoughtWorks Anthology: Essays on Software Technology and Innovation and gave it 7 out of 10 horseshoes.

This collection of 13 essays written by various ThoughtWorks (a software consulting company) employees covers a wide range of software development topics. There's no overarching theme - the essays are meant to present current thinking on issues that are being thought about nowadays even if they're maybe not on everybody's mind. ... Some essays focus purely on the programming, while the majority addresses issues of the development process. ... The depth and style of the essays varies widely, since no two chapters are written by the same author. While all of them should be of interest to any developer or development manager, not many may be applicable to a particular reader's situation.
