Today, software engineers need to know not only how to program effectively but also how to develop proper engineering practices to make their codebase sustainable and healthy. This book emphasizes this difference between programming and software engineering.

How can software engineers manage a living codebase that evolves and responds to changing requirements and demands over the length of its life? Based on their experience at Google, software engineers Titus Winters and Hyrum Wright, along with technical writer Tom Manshreck, present a candid and insightful look at how some of the world’s leading practitioners construct and maintain software. This book covers Google’s unique engineering culture, processes, and tools and how these aspects contribute to the effectiveness of an engineering organization.

You’ll explore three fundamental principles that software organizations should keep in mind when designing, architecting, writing, and maintaining code:

How time affects the sustainability of software and how to make your code resilient over timeHow scale affects the viability of software practices within an engineering organizationWhat trade-offs a typical engineer needs to make when evaluating design and development decisions.

Trillions of lines of code help us in our lives, companies, and organizations. But just a single software cybersecurity vulnerability can stop entire companies from doing business and cause billions of dollars in revenue loss and business recovery. Securing the creation and deployment of software, also known as software supply chain security, goes well beyond the software development process.

This practical book gives you a comprehensive look at security risks and identifies the practical controls you need to incorporate into your end-to-end software supply chain. Author Cassie Crossley demonstrates how and why everyone involved in the supply chain needs to participate if your organization is to improve the security posture of its software, firmware, and hardware.

With this book, you’ll learn how to:

Pinpoint the cybersecurity risks in each part of your organization’s software supply chainIdentify the roles that participate in the supply chain—including IT, development, operations, manufacturing, and procurementDesign initiatives and controls for each part of the supply chain using existing frameworks and referencesImplement secure development lifecycle, source code security, software build management, and software transparency practicesEvaluate third-party risk in your supply chain

From the Publisher

‘Terrific’

“With a patient and experienced pedagogical style, and a combination of thorough language instruction and plenty of illustrative sample code, Python Crash Course is a terrific way to begin learning computer programming in general and the Python language in particular.”

—Michael J. Ross, web developer and former Slashdot contributor

‘Well Thought Out’

“All of these projects are well thought out and presented in such a way that learning the subject matter and implementing it is much more an enjoyable pastime rather than an onerous task that must be completed. Eric took the time to deal with some rather complex projects and lay them out in a consistent, logical and pleasant manner that draws the reader into the subject willingly.”

—Full Circle Magazine

‘Teaches Clean Programming’

“While Python Crash Course uses Python to teach you to code, it also teaches clean programming skills that apply to most other languages.”

—Great Lakes Geek
