Programming as if People Mattered
"This book is very easy to read, and is so entertaining that it is hard to put down... An excellent book, and a must-read for software professionals."--Choice "The book provides a stimulating read, with a fair sprinkling of controversial opinions from which intelligent readers ... will draw their own conclusions."--J.

[A] book filled with points to think about well before you start coding menus or screens."--UnixWorld "A witty look at the foibles of software engineering, based on real examples... This voice of experience offers a good dose of humility to arrogant young programmers."--American Mathematical Monthly
