For the interested student
Dave Farley has a channel
on YouTube with loads of videos on not just Continuous Delivery but also on lots of other interesting
and useful things about Software Engineering in general.
There is also a postcast
from ThoughtWorks where they interview him about how the book "Continuous Delivery" came about - and
also his new book "Modern Software Engineering". Again you really get the impression that here is
someone with a lot of experience that we should learn from.
Quote of the day
Why pay more for a climbing rope. If it breaks - we will give
you a new one. (Ad in a British newspaper)
