Reading Blog - The Mythical Man-Month Ch 4 -6

Summary:
Ch 4
Design and implementation are two very different things as discussed in the chapter. Architecture is a complete detailed specification of the UI. It must be drafted before implementation.

Ch 5
This chapter does more differentiation. It talks bout the early life of the design and avoiding adding on to it late into the process for second release.

Ch 6
The documentation of instructions describes what the user sees in a program. When the specifications are written up for this, it is important that they be precise and exact. Communication between builders and architects should be kept to avoid mis-communication of specifications and documentation.



Discussion:
This book is helping me understand different roles of programming and what each role entails. I am enjoying learning more about the different roles.
