A legendary text but less than relevant these days. At its core are principles that don't date but it's relevance is to the history of the development of computer software systems. An entertaining read nonetheless.

Good Read it. 30 May 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a really good book. But when you read it think of that it is a child of its time. Some parts might need an update in the world that we live in today.

Myth Busting 9 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
Although the work for this book was completed many years ago, few industries seem to have benefited from the lessons described. Naysayers will dismiss the ideas because the data source is too old and "technology has moved on so much since then". The fundamental lessons though refer more to people than any specific technology and are probably even more valuable today than when the book was first published.
