The gradual disappearance of paper and its familiar evidential qualities affects almost every dimension of contemporary life. From health records to ballots, almost all documents are now digitized at some point of their life cycle, easily copied, altered, and distributed. In Burdens of Proof, Jean-François Blanchette examines...
Agile has become today’s dominant software development paradigm, but agile methods remain difficult to measure and improve. Essential Skills for the Agile Developerfills this gap from the bottom up, teaching proven techniques for assessing and optimizing both individual and team agile practices.
Growing technological requirements and the widespread acceptance of sophisti
cated electronic devices have created an unprecedented demand for large-scale,
complex, integrated circuits. Meeting these demands has required technological
advances in materials and processing equipment, significant increases in the num
