Were losing tens of billions of dollars a year on broken software, and great new ideas such as agile development and Scrum dont always pay off. But theres hope. The nine software development practices in Beyond Legacy Code are designed to solve the problems facing our industry. Discover why these practices work, not just how they work, and dramatically increase the quality and maintainability of any software project.These nine practices could save the software industry. Beyond Legacy Code is filled with practical, hands-on advice and a common-sense exploration of why technical practices such as refactoring and test-first development are critical to building maintainable software. Discover how to avoid the pitfalls teams encounter when adopting these practices, and how to dramatically reduce the risk associated with building software--realizing significant savings in both the short and long term. With a deeper understanding of the principles behind the practices, youll build software thats easier and less costly to maintain and extend.By adopting these nine key technical practices, youll learn to say what, why, and for whom before how; build in small batches; integrate continuously; collaborate; create CLEAN code; write the test first; specify behaviors with tests; implement the design last; and refactor legacy code.Software developers will find hands-on, pragmatic advice for writing higher quality, more maintainable, and bug-free code. Managers, customers, and product owners will gain deeper insight into vital processes. By moving beyond the old-fashioned procedural thinking of the Industrial Revolution, and working together to embrace standards and practices that will advance software development, we can turn the legacy code crisis into a true Information Revolution.

Early praise for Beyond Legacy Code

Beyond Legacy Code presents a fresh perspective on the modern software development process. Engineers will find solutions to their day-to-day challenges. Non-engineers will gain an appreciation for the challenges and difficulties of making software.

Stas Zvinyatskovsky
Senior Principal Software Architect, Yahoo

David helps us see how we got where we are. He gives us things to do that will help us. He gives us deep matters to think about. This book is a gift to people who care about software. Take advantage of it.

Ron Jeffries
RonJeffries.com

If you feel stuck and powerless to improve your software delivery process, this book will offer years of experience distilled in just a few core ideas. This is a great book for anyone starting on a journey toward frequent iterative delivery, and for those people who tried adopting an agile process and failed to get the big benefits.

Gojko Adzic
Partner, Neuri Consulting LLP

This book provides great discussion on what things I can do to make customers happy and also to keep them happy as their needs change.

David Weiser
Software Engineer, Moz

Its a good read for any developer or manager, working on any type of code in any company.

Troy Magennis
Author of Forecasting and Simulating Software Development Projects , CEO Focused Objective

Davids explanations are so clear I am hopeful even managers of development teams and leaders running companies who build custom software will pick up this book and understand these practices that allow us to build software that is economical to own, maintain, and enhance.

Jim Fiolek
Software Architect, Black Knight Financial Services

Throughout the book there were points that gave me a sense of reliefwhere I would think if only we could get people to follow these few principles our life, and software, would be so much easier and less stressful.

Nick Capito
Director of Software Engineering, Unboxed Technology

We fight to make every line of code we write part of a real live product. Find out how that fight sometimes leads us astray. Find out how to make you and your team much more productive in building real live products that customers want now AND tomorrow.

Michael Hunter
Geek, Hacker, Principal Engineer, Architect
Foreword
Legacy

A legacy is the part of the dead that remains influential.

A life that leaves a legacy has been a good one. Not so for software. We use the polite term legacy for code that has lost all sense of vitality even though it might run every day and exert the unchanging influence of past decisions on all who for whatever reason are unable to walk away.

We distinguish software from hardware. We call hardware hard because we think of it as fixed, unlikely to change without screwdriver in hand. We call software soft because it is made up of ideas, expressed as code, loaded into hardware to make something useful.

The irony of our industry is that code turns out to be harder than hardware when it is thought to be finished and the developers dismissed.

Software comes to life when developers express wants and needs as decisions in the logic of programming. Its like making something out of nothing until we recognize all of the careful reasoning that goes into making the new life the one we want.

Agility

We say an organization is agile when it responds to threat and opportunity in ways uniquely of the moment. An agile organization is informed by history but not shackled to practice encoded in software not likely to be revised soon.
