Reviews

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. Dodd, Information and Science Technology This book's great glory is the author's implicit, but pervasive, notion that the human interface extends through software; and that programs are just ways that people tell computers what they should be doing... [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
