Want an analysis of software engineering techniques that will make you think? Want a text that is well written, organized, and contains more that than ususal fluff of these types of texts? Then get this book. (Go to the library and check it out!)

"Wicked Problems" should be CS undergrad required reading, just as "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance" should be read by every mechanical engineer. Wicked problems doesn't wonder off into terminology and methodology, instead it teaches meta-methodology thinking, which will be vastly more useful in practical application. Learning the HOW of a design methodology is less critical in a career path than learning the WHY of all methodologies. That such a useful book is written in simple conversational style with great real world examples is a marvel. You want to build complex systems? You need to read this book.

First - I bought this book after reading the other reviews, my first error. Secondly I believed that the authors were going to provide a serious case study to prove there methods - wrong there is no case study, probably due to the fact that no method is actually given to achieve anything of purpose other than to state that existing systems have problems -we know that already. This book DOES NOT offer anything in the way of tangible advice nor offer the programmer or systems manager any useful advice in which we can advance systems design or analysis. Look elsewhere before buying this book.
