The Changing Role of the User in the Development of Application Software (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Explore how users are reshaping software development and gain practical insight into the future of application design.
This analytic study looks at how the balance of power in software creation is shifting from programmers to the people who use software. It explains the rise of tools, macros, and object-oriented approaches that let users assemble and tailor applications themselves. The author grounds the discussion in a pilot study of three real projects, showing how requests move between users and makers and what that means for practice and efficiency.
- Learn how modern programming tools and environments empower users to build their own applications
- See the difference between simple change requests and richer data sharing during development
- Understand patterns of collaboration between users and manufacturers and what works best
- Get practical examples of how firms partition tasks and how this trend could shape future software
