A while back I read the book Psychology of Computer Programming by Gerald Weinberg – something of a seminal text, full of interesting observations on how people and environments can impact productivity of programming.  Anyone working within a development environment would probably benefit from reading.  But whilst I was reading the book, I did create a mind map of what I was reading which I have made available here.

A while back I reviewed the excellent book Enterprise Security: A Data-Centric Approach to Securing the Enterprise.  I had mentioned that I would in due course make a mindmap available based on my reading of the book as I use mindmaps as a memory jog when I need to go back to referencable material.

Well I have made by first cut of the mind map – which can be found with my shared mindmaps here. I shall be updating it and adding details, so it is worth checking back.

As WordPress prevents embedding iframes – I can only offer an image here – but the mindmap toolsite provides a fully interactive view to the mindmap.

Enterprise Data SecurityAs I work my way through the Aaron Woody book Enterprise Security: A Data Centric Approach to Securing the Enterprise I’ve been building a mind map of helpful notes -to help serve as a reminder or means to quickly drill back into the book for future reference.

The mind map has been build using freemind – it isn’t the prettiest of documents, but content is king here.

As a development manager, I’ve been looking at the updated edition of Gerald M. Weinberg’s classic book Psychology of Computer Programming.  Despite having been in the IT industry for  the better part of twenty years, this book has still managed to provoke some thought. Particularly with regards to how informal processes can affect organisations.

In addition to the social aspects of software development, the book addresses team dynamics. What makes good programming – for example code readability vs clever solutions. All of which is very important for anyone managing or leading developers, as this will help move a project in the right direction and draw the best out of your team.

The other  aspect of the book that has been of interest is the work in trying to understand what to look for in a developer as I have now been long involved in the interviewing and recruitment process.

I have tried to capture some of the points from this book in mind map which can be found in here.
