The first part of this reading discusses teams. Teams are a very important part of completing a project. “The Gelled Team” is a very efficient way of forming a team, it usually consists of 12 people, some programmers, some testers and a project manager. This team needs to learn eachothers habits and learn to be able to work with them, this can sometimes take a long time but is necessary. This team can then take on multiple projects and is much more efficient.
The second part of the reading focuses on learning to program outside of school. A lot of programmers haven’t even gone to school, they teach themselves. The ones that do go to school are not ready to start coding right away, it takes years of learning the way an office works and how to perform efficiently.
