This book gives a snapshot of the best advice the authors found in investigating their own approach over the period of about a year in 2009. But they worked in a fast-changing, cutting-edge field, so even as they were putting the final touches on this book, many new ideas and concepts were being conceived and applied in their work. This book covers a very broad subject, so they provided only a high-level overview of some very complex domains. You may want to learn more about these domains, and to find resources on how to develop your own expertise in those fields. So, to provide updates and link you to useful resources, they’ve created a page on our website to complement this book:

Chcete se neco docist o pouzitelnosti? Tak na tuhle knizku zapomente :-( Knizka je sbirka povrchnich postrehu z vyvoje SW, vhodna tak akorat pro "zacinajici projektaky bez predchozich znalosti". Nechapu. Knizkou jsem spise prolitnul, cele se to snad neda ani precist, jak je to nudne. Kdyz tak koukam na hodnoceni na amazonu, uvedomuju si, ze jsem ho mel zkontrolovat driv a knizce se vyhnout.
