1.0 out of 5 stars
Finally! It arrived. Blasts of wind from overseas., February 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Analysis and Testing of Distributed Software Applications (Industrial Control, Computers & Communications Series) (Hardcover)
Are you tired of being hit by voluminous blasts of vapour from DeMarco, Watts S. Humphrey, and the three-year-cycle clairvoyant Yourdon? Bless the Lord and Capitalism, the monotony is the thing of the past: now you have the choice of vapour. Freedom came to Eastern Europe, and now (and for unlimited time, I fear) you can enjoy blasts of fresh and cloudy wind from overseas! Here's a diagram-happy, touch-on-everything-cover-nothing, tenured-prof-style one-hundred-dollar book comprising nothing useful and a table of acronyms--straight from Poland where, as an exalted intro says, St. George-like Lech Valensa killed the dragon of the world Communism and broke down The Wall. Well, that don't make them books good... I say, put the wall back where it was. Local bs-mongers are tiresome enough.
