A classic programming magazine.

Evolutionary design is like Extreme Programming (XP) with an edge, adding business sensitivity into the mix. Dr. Dobb's.

Part 2 of 2: W. Edwards Deming's Total Quality Management still rings true for software; rules for lean coding. Dr. Dobb's.

Part 1 of 2: Assembly-line production techniques apply to software, too. Dr. Dobb's.

How to solve problems there is no consensus on what a problem is, or how to resolve it. By Mary Poppendieck. Dr. Dobb's.

Program managers can learn from the new agile methods, too: Scrum and Extreme Project Management use close quarters, communication and discrete goal-setting to create highly effective project plans. Dr. Dobb's.

AOP training and tool support are key issues for future growth. Dr. Dobb's.

AOP was a move away from explicit metaprogramming to a direct semantics for coding crosscutting concerns. But metaprogramming can still be useful, if kept under control. Dr. Dobb's.

Two new books explore what it's like to build enterprise applications with aspects and offer a methodology to design AOP-implemented systems. Dr. Dobb's.

From the podium to the hallways, the 3rd annual Aspect-Oriented Software Development Conference, Lancaster, England, was filled with the energy of commercial adopters. Dr. Dobb's.
