Learn the principles of good software design and then turn those principles into great code. This book introduces you to software engineering ― from the application of engineering principles to the development of software. You'll see how to run a software development project, examine the different phases of a project, and learn how to design and implement programs that solve specific problems. This book is also about code construction ― how to write great programs and make them work.

This new third edition is revamped to reflect significant changes in the software development landscape with updated design and coding examples and figures. Extreme programming takes a backseat, making way for expanded coverage of the most crucial agile methodologies today: Scrum, Lean Software Development, Kanban, and Dark Scrum. Agile principles are revised to explore further functionalities of requirement gathering. The authors venture beyond imperative and object-oriented languages, exploring the realm of scripting languages in an expanded chapter on Code Construction. The Project Management Essentials chapter has been revamped and expanded to incorporate "Software Development” to discuss the crucial interpersonal nature of joint software creation.

Here’s the definition of software development that we’ll use in this book: software development is the process of taking a set of requirements from a user (a problem statement), analyzing them, designing a solution to the problem, and then implementing that solution on a computer.

But isn’t that programming? Well, no. Programming is really just the implementation part, or possibly the design and implementation part, of software development. Programming is central to software development, but it’s not the whole thing.

Well, then, isn’t it software engineering? Again, no. Software engineering also involves a process and includes software development, but it also includes the entire management side of creating a computer program that people will use. Software engineering includes project management, configuration management, scheduling and estimation, baseline building and scheduling, managing people, and several other things. Software development is the fun part of software engineering.

So software development is a narrowing of the focus of software engineering to just that part concerned with the creation of the actual software. And it’s a broadening of the focus of programming to include analysis, design, and release issues.
