Biography
Václav Rajlich is a professor and former chair of computer science at Wayne State University. Dr. Rajlich is an editorial board member of the Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution and the founder and permanent steering committee member of the IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC). His research focuses on software evolution and comprehension.
"… a great read … this [is] an entirely different approach to teaching software engineering and it could really help students (and practitioners) understand recent advances in software engineering and become better software engineers. … this book explains software engineering not from a constructionist point of view, but from a change/maintenance perspective, meaning most of the time you need to read/analyze programs rather than write them (though there is plenty of material in the book to support green field development)."
—Will Tracz, ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, November 2013
