The Nature of Software Development
You need to get value from your software project. You need it "free, now, and perfect." We can't get you there, but we can help you get to "cheaper, sooner, and better." This book leads you from the desire for value down to the specific activities that help good Agile projects deliver better software sooner, and at a lower cost.Using simple sketches and a few words, the author invites you to follow his path of learning and understanding from a half century of software development and from his engagement with Agile methods from their very beginning. The book describes software development, starting from our natural desire to get something of value.Each topic is described with a picture and a few paragraphs.You're invited to think about each topic; to take it in.You'll think about how each step into the process leads to the next.You'll begin to see why Agile methods ask for what they do, and you'll learn why a shallow implementation of Agile can lead to only limited improvement.This is not a detailed map, nor a step-by-step set of instructions for building the perfect project.There is no map or instructions that will do that for you. You need to build your own project, making it a bit more perfect every day.To do that effectively, you need to build up an understanding of the whole process.This book points out the milestones on your journey of understanding the nature of software development done well.It takes you to a location, describes it briefly, and leaves you to explore and fill in your own understanding.What You Need: You'll need your Standard Issue Brain, a bit of curiosity, and a desire to build your own understanding rather than have someone else's detailed ideas poured into your head.

Coding Care : Towards a Technology for Nature
Coding Care: Towards a Technology for Nature brings together contributions from renowned authors and artists who are particularly concerned with nature and our environment.In doing so, they raise the question of how we can use technology to better understand nature and shape coexistence in a sustainable way - especially in regions that are not yet fully technologized.In this sense, coding should be understood as a form of caring, a substitute for what technology can contribute to the future in each specific cultural and regional context.

Where has technology learned from nature in bridge construction?
Technology has learned from nature in bridge construction by studying the structural integrity and efficiency of natural formations such as tree roots and spider webs. For example, the design of the Millau Viaduct in France was inspired by the way tree roots interlock to create stability in soil. Additionally, the use of biomimicry in bridge construction has led to the development of stronger and more flexible materials that can withstand environmental factors such as wind and earthquakes, ultimately leading to more sustainable and resilient bridge designs.

What is motion in nature and technology?
Motion in nature refers to the movement of objects or organisms from one place to another. This can include the movement of animals, the flow of water, or the orbit of planets around the sun. In technology, motion refers to the movement of mechanical parts, such as the rotation of gears in a machine or the movement of a robotic arm. Understanding motion in both nature and technology is important for fields such as physics, engineering, and biology, as it allows us to study and manipulate the movement of objects and organisms.

What is a nature project for toddlers?
A nature project for toddlers could involve creating a sensory bin filled with natural materials like leaves, pinecones, and rocks for them to explore and play with. Another idea could be going on a nature scavenger hunt where toddlers can search for different items like flowers, sticks, or insects in a local park or garden. Additionally, planting seeds or small plants in a garden or pot can be a hands-on nature project that teaches toddlers about growth and caring for living things.

What is the purpose of nature and technology?
The purpose of nature is to provide the essential resources and environment for life to thrive. It offers beauty, sustenance, and balance to the world. Technology, on the other hand, serves to enhance human capabilities, improve efficiency, and solve problems. It is designed to make life easier, more convenient, and to advance human knowledge and understanding of the world. Both nature and technology play crucial roles in the development and sustainability of human life.

Biomimetics : How Lessons From Nature can Transform Technology
An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature.The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems. In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier.He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.
