Читать книгу Beginning Software Engineering - Stephens Rod - Страница 7

You don't need any tools to read this book. All you need is the ability to read the book. (And perhaps reading glasses. Or perhaps a text-to-speech tool if you have an electronic version that you want to “read.” Or perhaps a friend to read it to you. Okay, I guess you have several options.)

To actually participate in a development effort, you may need a lot of tools. If you're working on a small, one-person project, you might need only a programming environment such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, RAD Studio, or whatever. For larger team efforts you'll also need tools for project management, documentation (word processors), change tracking, software revision tracking, and more. And, of course, you'll need other developers to help you. This book describes these tools, but you certainly don't need them to read the book.
