The ThoughtWorks Anthology, Volume 2--New from Pragmatic Bookshelf
More Essays on Software Technology and Innovation

Raleigh, NC--"The ThoughtWorks Anthology, Volume 2: More Essays on Software Technology and
Innovation" (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $39.00) is a new collection of essays from the experts at
ThoughtWorks, offering practical insight and advice on a range of challenges faced daily by
software developers and IT professionals. It covers a broad spectrum of software development
topics, from tuning agile methodologies to hard-core language geekery. This anthology captures the
wide-ranging intellect and diversity of ThoughtWorks, reflected through practical and timely
topics.

In it, you'll find from-the-trenches advice on topics such as continuous integration, testing, and
improving the software delivery process. See how people use functional programming techniques in
object-oriented languages, modern Java web applications, and deal with current problems in
JavaScript development. Scan an overview of the most interesting programming languages today and
the current state of information visualization. And it's all field-tested insight, because it comes
from the practical perspective of ThoughtWorks experts.

Each essay focuses on extending your skills and enlarging your toolkit. And each is drawn from
practical experience gained in the field.

You'll benefit from this book if you are involved in developing, deploying, or testing software,
either as a manager or developer.

Available for e-readers in epub, mobi, and PDF formats direct from the publisher and in paperback
from fine bookstores worldwide.
