The writing of this 《激情式软件开发(英文版)》, at this time, can be attributed to Dr. Alan George who gave me an opportunity to do a reasonably large project that fits the methodology described in this book. This project in turn led to an opportunity to try to teach students and others associated with the project,the principles and concepts behind the project itself; hence the book. Alan also provided input on some of the content, such as the ideal characteristics of software.
