Yesterday I was delivered a new book by Kent Beck. (Kent Beck)Many years ago, he invented extreme programming. (XP, Extreme programming) He signed the Agile Manifesto. I almost read Kent's last book. 20 Years ago, when I was just starting out, I immediately bought myself a translation from Peter and read it the same day it arrived. The book was definitely interesting, albeit eerily short. The meaning of the book can be conveyed by recalling the slogan of Tide washing powder, consonant with the title of the book: "Are you still boiling?" Then we're coming to you!

- Introduction. (Introduction) The author devotes the beginning of the book to a story about how he approaches the issues of software design. And that software design is a sharpened tool that not everyone knows how to use. The goal of the book is to help developers feel safer. As a result, the author tries to consider design not from the point of view of theory, but from the point of view of practice. When we have an urgent task to change the behavior of software (fill in)There is also a software structure that can help or interfere with this. And the author suggests cleaning as a way to deal with complexity.

In the book 3 Parts I’ll talk about in separate posts

  • Part I. Cleanup (Tidyings) - stand-off - Part II. Management (Managing) - stand-off - Part III. Theory. (Theory)
