Continuous Delivery reading and resource list

This is a re-post of an article I wrote for NUBIC:

My technical project for the year, I've decided, is to build a continuous delivery system inside the NUBIC dev team.

Here's a quick reading list of source materials that I'm using to learn how to do it (blog posts to follow as I document the process of building the system internally):

• The Continuous Delivery book
• The Continuous Delivery blog
• Eric Ries' 5-step primer to Continuous Deployment
• Case Study: Continuous deployment makes releases non-events
• IMVU’s Approach to Integrating Quality Assurance with Continuous Deployment
• A series on the principle of "The 5 whys"
• The Pareto principle, a.k.a. the 80/20 rule

These things couple very well with additional practices that NUBIC embraces as part of its software development process, including:

• Test Driven Development
• Behavior Driven Development
• Continuous Integration
• Releasing much of our code as open source
• Kaizen - continuous improvement philosophy
• Doing well on the "Joel Test"

Finally, ThoughtWorks Studios has a commercial product called Go for automated release management. A couple of people from ThoughtWorks also happen to be the authors of the book on continuous delivery.
