Goodreads asked David Scott Bernstein:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Scott Bernstein Having worked in the software industry for over three decades, I wanted to make how we build software accessible to non-developers. We all depend on software but few people understand how it's built. New ideals, like Agile, are helping but most teams are only adopting the easier practices and not getting the value they'd hoped for. My book discusses nine technical practices that are the highest value yet least understood. I wrote the book as narrative non-fiction and tried make how we build software accessible to anyone by relating key concepts in software development to common sense. Several non-technical people have told me that once they started reading it they couldn't put the book down. I'd love to know what you think. You can read excerpts, watch a video, and buy the book at http://BeyondLegacyCode.com.
