There's as much skill involved in managing/leading a software development process as there is in actually doing software development.

I've got a lot of respect for somebody who can scrape up some dough, envision a product, and get somebody to make it. Unfortunately, too many people think that their skills as a salesperson, manager, hairdresser, chemist or whatever empower them to lead a software development effort and too frequently they fail.

Right, but you can learn enough about the software development process without getting into the nitty gritty of how anonymous functions in Javascript work.
