I’m passionate about software engineering and entrepreneurship. I write, speak, and teach on the processes and challenges of software development.

Lean Software Systems Engineering for Developers by Doug Durham and Chad Michel

Based on our years of software systems development, Chad Michel and I have written our first book, showing readers how to approach system development like a software engineer.

Lean Software Systems Engineering for Developers: Managing Requirements, Complexity, Teams, and Change Like a Champ includes meaningful examples, case studies, and sample source code to help developers gain an understanding of how to view the entire spectrum of software development.

The book is now available directly from Apress and also at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite bookseller.
