The book of "Boulevard to Jane"

　　Today I read the fourth chapter of "Boulevard to Jane", "a mere formality of communication". First of all, the author mentions that "Customers don't use C, do they use UML?" "This question. In the author's discourse, I understand that asking clients to learn C language is obviously a suicidal behavior. Before the client learns to use the C language to describe their needs to the developers, we may have been opened by the boss. C language is the language that programmers communicate with computers, not the language he communicates with the client. The programmer is facing a computer, but the computer is not a customer. At the same time, programmers can not ask customers to C Language, we can not ask customers will Modeling Language. Therefore, the way of communication is very important.

The author then says, "the project document can really be written with Oracle." The author says that as long as you use the well, Oracle can be used to draw use case diagram and write use case specification. Similarly, as long as a set of "grammar", you can also use Oracle to do activity diagram, Class diagram, Component diagram? and the statutes related to these diagrams. From this I understand that no matter what the way, as long as both sides understand, is a good way of communication.

Finally, the author mentions the simplest communication and the communication channel for the nonexistent character. The so-called minimalist communication, the author gave some description. Begin to view the characteristics of the relevant software system on the network to extract the customer's concerns, understand the customer's company, business philosophy, organizational structure and mode of work, understand the successful experience of similar companies and excellent management model, as well as what the customer's competitors are doing and caring. Finally, we begin to synthesize two factors: the external performance, internal mechanism and operation Management of the customer at the company level, the customer's clear needs and possible needs in the project, as well as the customer's requirements around the company's behavior (and direction). The so-called non-existent role to leave communication channels, do the project, if not leave a history record, then others to see this project, will be two eyes a smear, so we have to leave records and notes.

Through the author's narrative, I learned more about the way of communication, and gave me a new understanding.
