He then outlines seven >steps needed to gain control of a software operation and transform it into a >professional, businesslike engineering function. Failure to recognize the >importance of software, and to take charge of its development process, runs >the risk of damaging the entire business. By contrast, Humphrey relates the >substantial benefits real organizations have obtained from such awareness >and control, and he concludes with an analysis of the impressive financial >returns the recommended transformations typically yield. >________________________________________________________ >;login's Top Ten Computer Books for 2001 > >4 out of 10 books on ;login's Top 10 Computer Books for 2001 belong to >Addison-Wesley Professional. > >#2 Network Programming with Perl by Lincoln Stein >http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-61571-1 > >#5 White-Hat Security Arsenal by Aviel Rubin >http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-71114-1 > >#7 Ad Hoc Networking by Charles Perkins >http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-30976-9 > >#8 Linux System Administration by Marcel Gagne >http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-71934-7 >________________________________________________________ >Web Services Developer's Conference 2002 >Practical subjects for Web services zealots. > >Addison-Wesley authors Tim Ewald, Chris Sells, Don Box, and Brent Rector >will be speaking at the Web Services Developer's Conference 2002, March >21-22 at the Greenwood Inn in Beaverton, Oregon. > >"The goal of the Web Services DevCon is to cut away all the unessential >conference baggage and concentrate on why we're spending time at a >conference in the first place -- the talks by industry experts and >experienced practitioners.
