2.0 out of 5 stars This book does not provide the solutions we really need., 9 Jul 2000
By Roy Whitehead (Haute Savoie) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The starting point for real world software development, 14 Jan 1998
By A Customer
"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.
