4.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent Yourdon compendium, January 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Writings of the revolution: Selected readings on software engineering (Paperback)
While Yourdon has written his fair share of books, my favorites by him are the collections of essays, papers and talks he has put together. This one isn't quite as important, IMO, as _Classics in Software Engineering_, but it's still very good. The writings range farther, with more case studies (primarily business and IS systems), but also include seminial jewels such as C.A.R. Hoare's "The Emperor's Old Clothes", Knuth and Floyd's "Notes on Avoiding ``Go To'' Statements", Wirth's "Program Development by Stepwise Refinement", and Miller's "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two", all "must reads". If you can find this book, buy it.
