Generous, dazzling, always useful if you care even a little
(Jersey City, NJ) October 10, 1999 - 5.0/5 stars

Technology information is rarely organized and expressed with such insight and thoughtfulness, and out of such a confident sense that the software-production environment many of us increasingly live in could be a better place.

This is an enormously valuable work for anyone from a computer-science student to the highest management in the information age--it takes seriously the social world of software engineering; McConnell's advice is sound and backed by research, experience, and an obvious passion.

I buy this book regularly out of my own pocket for people starting in the business or joining my staff.
