This manual is more than simply a collection of maxims and homilies about software development. Although the bulk of the text is devoted to telling us things that we probably already know, its worth as a database of references almost eclipses the value of its own text. An invaluable bibliography, especially for students in this area.
Format:Hardcover
Each principle is a sentence presented on single page followed by an explanation that is frequently only one paragraph long. This the book's virtue: it is written so well and its principles are so carefully chosen that this format delivers a surprising wealth of useful information.
In addition, the principles are intelligently cross referenced so that reading a single principle will allow the reader to easily discover several other important related ideas. The principles are also indexed in an excellent reference section at the end of book, which links the principles to the original sources.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that this is also an attractive book, a rarity and a blessing since it will likely remain on the bookshelf years after other books have lost their relevance.

As a student of Software Engineering, I wish my courses
were based on the concepts in this book. The concepts aren't
new, but it is the first time I've seen them bundled up in
such a nice little package. Each page has a principle. And
the sources for each principle are cited. I only spotted
one mistake, the author confuses verification and validation.
