Education must start from an understanding of the heart of software development, from familiar ground that is common to all software development endeavors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is an in-depth introduction to software engineering that uses a systematic, universal kernel to teach the essential elements of all software engineering methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis kernel, Essence, is a vocabulary for defining methods and practices. Essence was envisioned and originally created by Ivar Jacobson and his colleagues, developed by Software Engineering Method and Theory (SEMAT) and approved by The Object Management Group (OMG) as a standard in 2014. Essence is a practice-independent framework for thinking and reasoning about the practices we have and the practices we need. Essence establishes a shared and standard understanding of what is at the heart of software development. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssence is agnostic to any particular method, lifecycle independent, programming language independent, concise, scalable, extensible, and formally specified. Essence frees the practices from their method prisons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book describes Essence, the essential elements to work with, the essential things to do and the essential competencies you need when developing software. The other three parts describe more and more advanced use cases of Essence. Using real but manageable examples, it covers the fundamentals of Essence and the innovative use of serious games to support software engineering. It also explains how current practices such as user stories, use cases, Scrum, and micro-services can be described using Essence, and illustrates how their activities can be represented using the Essence notions of cards and checklists. The fourth part of the book offers a vision how Essence can be scaled to support large, complex systems engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssence is supported by an ecosystem developed and maintained by a community of experienced people worldwide. From this ecosystem, professors and students can select what they need and create their own way of working, thus learning how to create ONE way of working that matches the particular situation and needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Essence is an important breakthrough in understanding the meaning of software engineering. It is a key contribution to the development of our discipline and I’m confident that this book will demonstrate the value of Essence to a wider audience. It too is an idea whose time has come.” – Ian Somerville, St. Andrews University, Scotland (author of \u003cem\u003eSoftware Engineering, 10th Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, Pearson)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In the foundational course “Software Engineering” I am teaching Essence to 400 students introducing Essence from day one. We will deliver a functioning system over the coming three months’ time developed by small teams. In the past we used a best-selling textbook, but not anymore. Tomorrow’s education will be fundamentally changed starting with the Essence of software engineering.” – Dr. Pekka Abrahamsson, Norwegian University of Science and Technology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“What you hold in your hands (or on your computer or tablet if you are so inclined) represents the deep thinking and broad experience of the authors, information you’ll find approachable, understandable, and, most importantly, actionable.” – Grady Booch, IBM Fellow, ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, BCS Ada Lovelace Award, and IEEE Computer Pioneer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword by Ian Sommerville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword by Grady Brooch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE ESSENCE OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Programming to Software Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware Engineering Methods and Practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssence in a Nutshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifying the Key Elements of Software Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Language of Software Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Kernel of Software Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflection on Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplying Essence in the Small—Playing Serious Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDEVELOPING SOFTWARE WITH ESSENCE\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKick-Starting Development Using Essence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping with Essence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Development Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflection on the Kernel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSMALL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT WITH PRACTICES\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKick-Starting Development with Practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning with Scrum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning with User Story Lite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning with Use Case Lite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning with Microservices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePutting the Practices Together: Composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLARGE-SCALE COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat It Means to Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssentializing Practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaling Up to Large and Complex Development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaching Out to Different Kinds of Development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaching Out to the Future\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Brief History of Software and Software Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor Biographies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Morgan \u0026 Claypool Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043339436375,"sku":"9781947487277","price":79.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781947487277.jpg?v=1750957900","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-essentials-of-modern-software-engineering-free-the-practices-from-the-method-prisons-9781947487277","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
