CST 438 - Week 4

Textbook Ratings


Software Engineering at Google: 4


I am rating this book at 4 because it is very informative and gives a lot of insight into Google's software development processes. Even though it focuses on a single company, knowledge gained from this book can be applied to virtually any software team. Anyone looking to improve coding practices and increase productivity will find it useful. However, the chapters are very long and can be difficult to get through in one sitting. 

Full Stack Development: 3


This book does a good job of introducing the basics of full stack development. However, I noticed that in many cases the pages do not have much information and the authors just paste code. Some of the code is not even applicable to what we're doing in this class, and modifications must be made. It does provide a good starting point, however. I plan on seeking out a different source if I need to learn more about this topic.
