He then proceeds to touch briefly on a great number of topics and technologies related to systems development. It is, therefore, very difficult to state briefly what the book is about or for. Not that the work is without value. There is nothing wrong n any of the advice. The content is not only readable, but even amusing. The points raised are important, and deserve consideration. Overall, this book is a good bedside companion for any developer of large systems. Chapters are short, and provoke thought. Points could be revisited from time to time. copyright Robert M.
