Mazes for Programmers

A book on mazes? Seriously? Yes! Not because you spend your day creating mazes, or because you particularly like solving mazes. But because it’s fun. Remember when programming used to be fun? This book takes you back to those days when you were starting to program, and you wanted to make your code do things, draw things, and solve puzzles. It’s fun because it lets you explore and grow your code, and reminds you how it feels to just think. Sometimes it feels like you live your life in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. Now you can code your way out.

The Nature of Software Development

You need to get value from your software project. You need it “free, now, and perfect.” We can’t get you there, but we can help you get to “cheaper, sooner, and better.” This book leads you from the desire for value down to the specific activities that help good Agile projects deliver better software sooner, and at a lower cost. Using simple sketches and a few words, the author invites you to follow his path of learning and understanding from a half century of software development and from his engagement with Agile methods from their very beginning.
