Manifesto for Software Craftmanship

This week I signed the Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship. When I read the book "Software Craftsmanship: The New Imperative", it kind of rocked my world. The book dissects most of the accepted software engineering principles and offers an alternative view. Since I was fostered in the software engineering school, the book questioned all that I believed in. But I really liked the book and its pragmatic view of software development. The manifesto is built on the ideas in the book.

The Manifesto for Software Craftsmanships looks like this:

• Not only working software,
  but also well-crafted software
• Not only responding to change,
  but also steadily adding value
• Not only individuals and interactions,
  but also a community of professionals
• Not only customer collaboration,
  but also productive partnerships

If you wish to sign the manifest, just visit the homepage. There is also a Software Craftsmanship group at LinkedIn.
