A promotional page for my second book, The Art of ClearCase Deployment: The Secrets to Successful Implementation, co-authored by Darren Pulsipher.
We have been kicked around a bit on Amazon on this book, largely because they were looking for an Admin guide. That is NOT this book. Go buy books by Brian White or Tom Milligan -- excellent books, and where to go for an admin guide. This book is more for project managers, analysts, and people unfamiliar with ClearCase. We cover the deployment process, from selling your team on the concept, to common issues with rolling it out. We cover more business process integration than technical configuration, and we feel it is a companion book to the White/Milligan books.
Three Books for $25 !!!
