How Indian Outsourcing Firms encourage Bad Software Development ...

| Link to this blogWe should strive make it easy for developers by having them merely translate design documents into code. This of course implies that the entire software development lifecycle results in one-to-one translations and simply ignores any gaps that will arise. Should enterprises ask themselves whether the end-product benefits if a developer understands just a little bit about what comes before and after their process or should they simply focus on their task at hand?
The global developer population is expected to grow 46% by 2009, creating a market of over seventeen million developers globally, according to a recent Evans Data report. The emergence of web services and new development capabilities from Ruby to Python to Ajax provide an opportunity for even more substantial innovation. To tap this rich opportunity, Borland is positioning its Developer Tools Group into a wholly owned subsidiary called CodeGear. This new unit will be responsible for advancing the four primary product lines formerly associated with Borland’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE) business. These include Developer Studio (Delphi, C++Builder and C#Builder), JBuilder (including the upcoming Eclipse-based “Peloton” offering), Turbo and Interbase.

Non-proprietary software development received a thumbs up from investors with Spring framaework creator, Interface 21, securing a USD 10 million funding from Benchmark Capital. Benchmark has previously invested in RedHat, MySQL and JBoss [which was eventually bought by RedHat for USD 420 million in 2006]. Spring is an open source web application framework for the Java platform. It was developed as a light-weight solution to make Java coding more flexible, easier, and competitive with other languages like RoR (Ruby on Rails). Unlike other heavy-weight APIs Spring is modular, meaning you can use parts of it; for example, like a bean container with Struts on top of it, or use only the Hibernate integration or the JDBC abstraction layer. Dependencies on the framework can be minimal, depending on the area of use.
