Customer Reviews

Not quite timeless, but pretty close

Bob Glass has a way of cutting through the usual obfuscation of topics that plague the software development industry, and this book is no exception. Some of the material is quite dated and hard to relate to if the reader hasn't lived through it (such as "catalogs" of software). The book is a short read though (I finished it on a couple of bus rides) and is worth going through, even if only to see where the profession has been and what has been apparently forgotten on the path to where we are now.
