Ask HN: tech ebooks explained for non-developers
After writing my first Introduction to Amazon Web Services Ebook (shameless plug - https://gumroad.com/l/HGlv ), I've been thinking of writing a series of tech ebooks for non-developers. In particular for account managers and project managers.
The book would be focused in explaining things in plain speak. There would be additional information on the complexity of a topic, and how time it might take for a developer to explain something.
Some ideas that come to the forefront
+ Introduction to enterprise architecture: An overview of mvc architecture, what a server is, and basic enterprise concepts (the 'ilities)
So any ideas or thoughts on this?
- caw 13y agoI'd also include something like: +Overview of cloud, when to use it, when to not +Trade offs of different architectures (client only, client/server, web,...) +High availability - how much you really need, how it adds time and cost to development +Proper metrics to track in a software project +Intro to agile (without turning it into an Agile handbook) in order to explain what's happening within the development team +Packaging. I don't mean like physical packaging, I mean packaging for deployment -- documentation for admins, for users, support model, etc
