I learned the Classic Development Cycle quite differently from most
people (it seems). My high school Comp Sci instructor (1979)
presented this basic software development flow and then immediately
used it to introduce concepts of iteration, recursion, and feedback
(on the model itself). I never felt that the Classic Development
Cycle approach was flawed, just most people's interpretation and
implementation of it (as a one-way monolithic process). To my mind,
modern methodologies like XP seem like natural extensions or
revisions of the classic model (as I learned it), not radical
departures.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
