Well, you finally made it to SOFTE (SOFTware
Engineering), the home page of Tom
Gilchrist, CSQA, CSQE.. Here you'll find methods, tools, and techniques
for improvement, especially organizational improvement, or what I call Organizational Professionalism.
While the focus is on software, many of the items found here are
not software specific. Since I live and work in the Seattle area,
I have a special interest in things that go on here in this area.
My goal is to have as much original information in SOFTE as possible.
Feel free to send your comments, suggestions, and information...expect
all to be read and some to be ignored!

This section contains information written by myself on the topics of organizational professionalism, improvement, and general software engineering. I have also included a list of books and tools I have found valuable:

Areas and Information of Local InterestWhile I don't assume to be a spokesman for these groups and organizations, I have found them of value and interest in my work. The information has been contributed by the organizations listed or point to their home pages:

This is information about software engineering. It is not meant to be complete, but these are areas I have found to be of value in my work.:

Great places to go for inspiration and meditation when things get crazy in the tar pit:
