Book review: “The standard waterfall development model is extended by adding new phases at the beginning and end, then integrating ‘life process’ terms for a richer development cycle; i.e., conception, gestation, birth, maturation, adulthood, and retirement. The last five (of twelve) chapters are invited contributions from well-known systems designers and developers, including Larry Constantine and Jonathan Grudin. Embellished by voluminous examples and illustrations (contributed by the second author’s father), also included are case studies, lessons learned, good ideas, and practical details shared by persona practitioners from a variety of industries.” (Thanks InfoDesign!)

“…check out the way The City Church does theirs using SlideShowPro. It’s pretty cool, because it gets your attention, and then you can click on the image to go to the corresponding page to read more. I think that SSP is a great product, and use it myself for my portfolio. Yet, to administer SSP takes owning either Flash 8 or MX 2004, $20.00, and a bit of XML savvy. Additionally, you can also buy Director, a PHP and MySQL based Ajax admin that will handle all the XML heavy lifting for you. Both of these are worth well more than what Todd Dominey charges for them. So, please do not mis-interpret this post as a slam against SlideShowPro. All I am saying is that if you just want to simply rotate images with some accompanying links, and you want to do it on the cheap, this is a possible alternative.”
