Résumé

"Well thought-out ... addresses many of the key issues facing developers of bioinformatics software."

Simon Dear, Director, UK Technology and Development, Bioinformatics Engineering and Integration, Genetics Research, GlaxoSmithKline

Bioinformatics Software Engineering: Delivering Effective Applications will be useful to anyone who wants to understand how successful software can be developed in a rapidly changing environment.

A handbook, not a textbook, it is not tied to any particular operating system, platform, language, or methodology. Instead it focuses on principles and practices that have been proven in the real world. It is pragmatic, emphasizing the importance of what the author calls Adaptive Programming - doing what works in your situation, and it is concise, covering the whole software development lifecycle in one slim volume.

At each stage, it describes common pitfalls, explains how these can be avoided, and suggests simple techniques which make it easier to deliver better solutions.

L'auteur - Paul Weston

Paul Weston has nearly two decades' experience in application development, gained in environments as diverse as entrepreneurial start-ups and monolithic bureaucracies. From MVS to XP, from COBOL to Java, and from Structured Programming to Struts - he has wrestled with them all.He began developing bioinformatics applications in the mid-1990s and has particular expertise in sequence assembly and sequence data management. He is now a director of Woodcock Stewart, a consultancy specializing in bioinformatics software development and developer training.
