From the Editor
Between 2007 and 2010, I wrote IEEE Software‘s bi-monthly From the Editor column. In this catch-all editorial space I addressed the latest trends affecting the software industry, the magazine’s affairs, and issues pertaining to software development practice, education, and research. PDF and HTML versions of From the Editor editions are freely available at the Computer Society Digital Library. For best results, click on the
