Plan and execute software releases
Resource Guide
The articles in this tutorial series were meant to provide you with a sound footing in software development practices, even if you are new to it and did not have prior experience. They were made simple and fun, and yet prepare you for success in managing and executing software development projects.
Below are a few resources for additional study and guidance. Many of them have further links to help you dig deeper.
If any of the URLs are not working, we will appreciate a note to that effect so that we can remove them from this list. As we mentioned earlier, there, of course, are a lot more of these out there with a lot more information. These should get you going on your journey, though.
