Yesterday, I've just found "on my back" (literally) an old but still interesting resource every software engineer should read about, printed and signed by a good friend of mine, previously Quality Manager of the company I'm working to and now living at Macau.
I've came across the:
- SWEBOK - Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (A project of the IEEE Computer Society Professional Practices Commitee, 2004 [outdated] Version.
"SWEBOK V3.0 is the most recent completely revised and updated version of the internationally respected Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge. Newly imagined as a living, changing document, and thoroughly rewritten, SWEBOK V3.0 has been developed and created by leading authorities, reviewed by professionals, and made available for public review and comment, continuing its 20-year reputation as the most authoritative, fundamental, and trusted definition of the software engineering profession. SWEBOK V3.0 is comprised of 15 Knowledge Areas, plus a new Appendix on Standards."
I've known for a long time the PMBOK (for Project Managers, a very interesting resource if you're interested on that part of software construction and the basis for certification) but this resource is a lot less talked about.
Give it a look.
