Great fun and deep wisdom...,

This review is from: The Zen of Programming (Paperback)
A collection of made-up parables and tales about coding, Zen style. Great fun to read, still full of deep wisdom. A fantastic gift to anyone working with computers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The tasks which can be named are not the true tasks.,
By Richard Threadgill (Palo Alto, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Zen of Programming (Paperback)
With the other two books in this series, James does an excellent job of conveying many of the lessons of large software project management and software design in a series of short, accessible anecdotes which can be easily digested by someone who is just coming to the field, or who doesn't have the time and focus to really digest Brooks ("The Mythical Man-month") or Demarco/Lister ("Peopleware"). This set is concise and to-the-point, and a must have for the new project manager or project lead.

This review is from: The Zen of Programming (Paperback)
I bought this book back in 1990 when I was working on my BSCS. I read it while reading the Mythical Man Month, and saw quite a few correlations between the two. It has sat within reach for 12 years. The parables and pearls of wisdom are timeless. I have frequently read from this book and identified things that are going on in my company. I'm sure Scott Adams has read this book.
