These links focus on the practical aspects of SE. This is a
very large topic area and this list is only a small sample. The methodologies
used to manage a software development project are topical as well. The
current discussion is the impact of Complex Adaptive Systems on the
disciplines of engineering, project management, business management, etc.
The
Project Management pages have PM sites as well as PM resources. As the Agile
discussion moves into PM, more background will be needed to sort out the
traditionalist from the agile, in exactly the same way as Agile development
did.
Much hoopla is given to new and innovative
project management techniques based on statistical estimators. The "real
options" theory in finance is a good place to start when someone suggests
there is "something new under the sun." |

OO
centric sites ranging from academic to commercial. Much of the "discussion"
of OO has become mainstream along with UML and its derivatives. Now
the hot topic is "agile" and all its permutations. |

to University Sites that contain OO, Architecture and Software Process
Improvement and other useful materials. Many sites contain papers that can be
found in their original format, rather than in a Proceedings or Book format.
Many also have software components that can be used "as is."

IT Strategy and related subjects is complex and
confusing. In addition, the subject is polluted with commercial selling
and product hucksters. The following sites provide a starting point for
sorting out the mess. Patterns and knowledge management are self evident
content.
