Has anyone used the #PersonalSoftwareProcess (a.k.a. #PSP)?

How did you learn it? I am trying to learn by myself, but the learning process highly recommends taking classes with a coach/trainer. Is it really worth it?

I have also found that the exercises are aimed towards a #waterfall approach, so have you used it with a highly #iterative / #agile approach like #tdd?

As a reference, I'm following the #psp for the 21st century (https://softwareexcellencealliance.org/psp-for-the-21st-century/) but there are also materials for the whole thing:

* PSP for Engineers - https://softwareexcellencealliance.org/psp-for-engineers-version-4-course/
* PSP Fundamentals - https://softwareexcellencealliance.org/psp-fundamentals-and-advanced/

(It's also difficult to understand which one to select. There are overlaps in both versions)

I read the book from W. S. Humphrey but I found it somewhat difficult to follow after the first few chapters.

Hi @ABAPDevEdition I already have a couple of use cases for the ABAP dev edition but I'm wondering if you could share others.

Mine are:
- training for CDS development
- proof of concept for connecting a git server with an Abap backend
- training for a TDD strategy

Any pointer is appreciated! 👍

On the same note, the Classic books series, again from the #acm are absolutely worth your time, and many of the authors will be in both lists. [202212142258 ACM Classic Books](https://dl.acm.org/collections/classics)

Finally, another good read is the #stanford #encyclopedia of #philosophy where they approach the subject in a very objective way, which I like. [202212142301 The Philosophy of Computer Science](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/computer-science/)

Awesome Collection of #computerscience references, mainly related to #programming #languages. Some of the texts can be found inside the #digital #library of the #acm and, as one might imagine, there are gems that are worth reading. I specially recommend the Axiomatic Basis for #computer #programming by #Hoare and The next 700 programming languages by Landin.

[This](https://nebula.tv/videos/jordan-harrod-lensa-ai-is-complicated-the-ethics-of-ai-art/) is a very good video from [Jordan Harrod](https://linktr.ee/jordanbharrod) about #Art in #artificialintelligence (#AI). I find the #ethics, #legal and #philosophy questions particularly interesting. If you don’t have a #nebula account, [this is the youtube version](https://youtu.be/kNk8jp5FysY)

P.S. republished because it's a shame that no mobile clients in #mastodon support #markdown and there's no way to #edit a toot

I have followed @OpenCulture for years now and the content never disappoints.

Hi Qoto! I'm migrating from my old account @andres@mastodon.technology . Sadly that instance is now shutting down. I hope this change re-ignites my interest in posting and sharing more content. I am a software developer, and was tempted to move to @mastodon.gamedev.place but I also want to learn about all kinds of knowledge, so qoto seemed like a great place 🌞
