Actually, I'd love a book focussing more on "hip-ness" and "style".
As a database-developer/web-site coder I often get asked to provide the design as well. Often I outsource the job, but only because I don't feel comfortable providing a professional looking design. Sure it might meet all the web standards - but it looks boring as bat-shit.
Anyone got any recommendations for design books for coders... not so much "HTML for dummies" as "Web-Design for Geeks"?
Many comments confuse two quite distinct questions:
1) What is the best way to do software testing?
2) What is the best way to make money selling software?
Question 2 may encompass aspects of question 1 as the useability of a company's software will have an influence on sales. Other influences will also be important, perhaps of greater importance.
All corporations (including Microsoft) are trying to find the best answer to questrion 2. As far as business is concerned Question 1 will only be solved (by them) to the degree that it maximzes profits.
George Washington's birthday is not determined by whatever day most people think it is
I accept that George Washington has a birthday (i.e. I accept objective reality) but the determination of that date is subjective.
Perhaps it is not determined by the most people, but there is some type of weighted function based on a combination of quantity and quality (google-like perhaps) that leads to what any publication determinies as his birthday.
McHenry seems to be arguing that the Brittanica function is better than than the Wikipedia function.
He may be right, but the Wiki function can change, and change in ways that are not available to print-based publications.
