Today I got my copy of Continuous Delivery, a book that I think is going to be probably the most important technical book of 2010. It talks about the build and deployment process: how to make it faster and less stressful. Almost every client ThoughtWorks has had in the last decade would have benefitted enormously from the techniques in this book, so I'm sure it has a huge potential to improve software development.

This week I've been working on the tutorial that Jez and I are doing at Agile 2010, and using my draft copy reinforced to me how useful a book this is. Jez and I hope to be doing a number of talks on this material over the next year or so - so keep an eye out for us. In particular we will be doing a full day tutorial at QCon San Francisco.
