Book Review
"In Ben's Application Experience, Ben offers an opinionated version of DevOps and Digital Transformation. I appreciate that he labels it Application Experience to take away that confusion in terminology. You'll find a distillation of key principles, specific steps to take to get started. This book is not "the only book you will ever need," but it is a book to start your organization on the journey."

"What makes this book a valuable resource, is that it starts with the “Why”, progresses to the “What”, but unlike many other books geared towards IT leaders, does not shy away from the inconvenient practicalities of “How”. Connecting those dots is vital!""
