Описание: Understand the big picture of the software development process. We use software every day – operating systems, applications, document editing programs, home banking – but have you ever wondered who creates software and how it’s created? This book guides you through the entire process, from conception to the finished product with the aid of user-centric design theory and tools.
Software Development: From A to Z provides an overview of backend development – from databases to communication protocols including practical programming skills in Java and of frontend development – from HTML and CSS to npm registry and Vue.js framework. You’ll review quality assurance engineering, including the theory about different kind of tests and practicing end-to-end testing using Selenium.
Dive into the devops world where authors discuss continuous integration and continuous delivery processes along with each topic’s associated technologies. You’ll then explore insightful product and project management coverage where authors talk about agile, scrum and other processes from their own experience.
The topics that are covered do not require a deep knowledge of technology in general; anyone possessing basic computer and programming knowledge will be able to complete all the tasks and fully understand the concepts this book aims at delivering. You’ll wear the hat of a project manager, product owner, designer, backend, frontend, QA and devops engineer, and find your favorite role.
What You’ll Learn
Understand the processes and roles involved in the creation of software
Organize your ideas when building the concept of a new product
Experience the work performed by stakeholders and other departments of expertise, their individual challenges, and how to overcome possible threats
Improve the ways stakeholders and departments can work with each other
Gain ideas on how to improve communication and processes
Who This Book Is For
Anyone who is on a team that creates software and is curious to learn more about other stakeholders or departments involved. Those interested in a career change and want to learn about how software gets created. Those who want to build technical startups and wonder what roles might be involved in the process.
Поймите общую картину процесса разработки программного обеспечения. Мы используем программное обеспечение каждый день – операционные системы, приложения, программы для редактирования документов, домашний банкинг, – но задумывались ли вы когда-нибудь о том, кто создает программное обеспечение и как оно создается? Эта книга проведет вас по всему процессу, от разработки концепции до создания готового продукта, с помощью теории и инструментов проектирования, ориентированных на пользователя.
Разработка программного обеспечения: от A до Z содержит обзор развития серверной части – из баз данных, протоколов связи, в том числе практические навыки программирования на Java и frontend-разработки – от HTML и CSS, чтобы НПМ реестра и рамок Vue.js . Вы познакомитесь с технологией обеспечения качества, включая теорию о различных видах тестов и практику сквозного тестирования с использованием Selenium.
Окунитесь в мир devops, где авторы обсуждают процессы непрерывной интеграции и непрерывной доставки, а также связанные с каждой темой технологии. Затем вы ознакомитесь с подробными материалами по управлению продуктами и проектами, в которых авторы рассказывают об agile, scrum и других процессах на основе собственного опыта.
Рассматриваемые темы не требуют глубоких знаний в области технологий в целом; любой, кто обладает базовыми знаниями в области компьютера и программирования, сможет выполнить все задания и полностью понять концепции, изложенные в этой книге. Вы примерите на себя роль менеджера проекта, владельца продукта, дизайнера, бэкенда, фронтенда, QA и devops-инженера и найдете свою любимую роль.
Чему вы научитесь
Разберитесь в процессах и ролях, связанных с созданием программного обеспечения
Систематизируйте свои идеи при разработке концепции нового продукта
Познакомьтесь с работой заинтересованных сторон и других специализированных подразделений, их индивидуальными проблемами и способами преодоления возможных угроз
Улучшите взаимодействие заинтересованных сторон и подразделений друг с другом
Получите идеи о том, как улучшить коммуникации и процессы
Для кого предназначена эта книга
Любой, кто работает в команде, создающей программное обеспечение, и кому интересно узнать больше о других заинтересованных сторонах или подразделениях, участвующих в этом процессе. Те, кто заинтересован в смене профессии и хочет узнать о том, как создается программное обеспечение. Те, кто хочет создавать технические стартапы и задается вопросом, какие роли могут быть задействованы в этом процессе.
