The ThoughtWorks Anthology - Short Review
The ThoughtWorks
Anthology is a collection of short articles and essays written by a
number of their employees (some of who are now ex-employees) about
software development with a heavily agile slant. The topics range from
the very high level "Lush Landscape of Languages" and "What is an
Iteration manager anyway" to the more technical and technique focused
"Refactoring Ant Build Files" and "Object Calisthenics".
While the general quality of the writing is very good, especially my favourite - 'Object Calisthenics', the biggest problem with a book like this is that a lot of the essays authors, and some of their also knowledgeable co-workers, have personal blogs where this quality of information is available on a (near) daily basis, in both greater depth and more a conversational nature.
