Ask HN: Good book for surveying current professional software development trends
Software development/Engineering today not like the sciences like physics or chemistry where the fundamental practices are solidified. Its more like GAAP in accounting. There are certain ideas/practices that are widely accepted, but for the most part everything good (good software, good design, good architecture, good solution etc) is subjective. Is there a treatise out there that serves as a good reference to current trends that are widely accepted today ?
