3.0 out of 5 stars Dated material-ignores management problems, January 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Distributed Engineering of Software (Textbook Binding)
This book focuses on how to distribute a software project over multiple geographic locations. It does cover the technology involved, though it is dated in the 1995 mindset (it ignores the Internet, and treats a 64K connection as "high speed"). It covers the use of formal diagramming techniques, conference calls, common file formats and a common database repository. The biggest drawback is that it ignores the management and people aspects of distributed software development. Most projects fail because they try using the same techniques and processes as when all the developers are co-located. The books tell how to build technology to distribute information but it doesn't say WHAT you need to distributed to ensure a project's success.
