Peopleware - Productive Projects and Teams- 2nd Ed

5 stars (Extraordinary book) - Peopleware is a book that needs to be read by ALL people related to software development; not just managers and developers. It has created plenty of debate between people in my company because of the 'saving on space' issue; also, some people from my company doesn't yet understand why a developer cannot be treated like a soldier (strict regime); this book helps out to understand such issues (and much more!). Also it has been written in a pleasant and fast way to read. ??Excellent piece of work! The remaining only issue: It doesn't talk anything about the process of selling. Eventhough it's not a 'Sellingware' book, I think it deserves one chapter, just to create a link with the people that are in charge of generating money to support the 100 square feet that each programmer needs. 5 stars (A must read for any Manager.) - This a great book. You will learn without knowing you learned. Stop wasting time reading reviews. Buy the book and read it! 5 stars (Must have if you are a software pro) - Get this book, and read it MANY times, over and over again. If you are a developer, use it to put some ideas to your manager's brain. Try suggesting various ideas. Try lending it to him (I lost a copy of mine that way!) If you are a development manager, try to turn as much as possible from what it says from theory into practice. It will only make everybody's lives much much more productive and happier. ...
