Last time
I mentioned that students in my agile software
development course found several of the reading
assignments to be valuable. For what it's worth,
here is at least a relatively complete list of
the readings I assigned in the course of four
weeks, in no particular order.
When I still thought we might use a distributed version
control system, I asked students to read
Hg Init
and then a few items on git, including
Git for the Lazy,
the official
git tutorial man page,
and
Everyday Git.
Then, when I decided to show discretion in at least
one part of the project and use centralized version
control, I asked the class to read several items on
Subversion
I'm under no illusion that every student read every page
of every reading. This is an ambitious list for agile
beginners to tackle in four weeks while also working on
a big project. Still, it's clear from discussion that
many students read a lot of this material, had questions,
and even had comments for me.
As always, I'd love to
hear from you
any comments you have about this list, or any additions
you can suggest for future offerings.
