BOOK: "The Road Map to Software Engineering: A Standards-Based Guide"

Another Software Development / Software Engineering book FFR:
The Road Map to Software Engineering: A Standards-Based Guide: 9780471683629: Computer Science Books @ Amazon.com

Quoting:
"The Road Map to Software Engineering: A Standards-Based Guide organizes relevant IEEE software and systems standards using two frameworks: the SWEBOK Guide's topical knowledge areas and the widely used IEEE/EIA 12207 standard. This useful guide is endorsed and recommended by the Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society for both practitioners and students."

BOOK: SWEBOK - Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge

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Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (A project of the IEEE Computer Society Professional Practices Commitee, 2004 [outdated] Version.

The most up to date version is the V3.0. Quoting the above download (after register) link: 

"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.
