Definitely touch on a lot of topics here. And all looks well organized. It also does look like a laundry list of buzzwords and techspeak.

Obviously this wouldn't be used to teach anyone any particular topic in detail but to get them familiar with the general concepts/steps involved in software dev.

Edit:

The two books I read that I thought covered these ideas well were Code Complete and Code Craft. But it's been about a decade now. Perhaps they're too dated.

Thanks, interesting. I've tried to define difficult terms, and it is aimed at a technical audience, but there is definitely room for improvement. If there are any readers having trouble, I'd appreciate hearing where. Will take a look myself as well.

I picked the Design section to read first. Perhaps that one isn't as detailed as some of the others.

I'm not trying to knock you here as I'm not exactly the audience for a publication of this type anyway.

It does give a good idea about what you should know/be familiar with and a bunch of link outs to other sources on the web.

Yes, I think you're right. Design is such a huge topic and hard to condense into one chapter (one of the shorter). I will pull more details into it and perhaps others, thanks.
