About the Book

This landmark 1971 classic is reprinted with new commentary and a Preface from the author. Long regarded as one of the first books to pioneer a people-oriented approach to computing, The psychology of Computer Programming endures as a penetrating analysis of the intelligence, skill, teamwork, and problem-solving power of the computer programmer. Returning to topics that are strikingly relevant to today's issues in programming, Gerald M. Weinberg provides a characteristically fresh perspective on his original insights, highlighting the similarities and differences between now and then. Using a conversational style that invites the reader to join him, Weinberg reunites with some of his most enduring, straight-from-the-heart observations on the human side of software engineering. Dorset House Publishing is proud to make this important text available to new generations of Weinberg fans -- and to encourage readers of the first edition to return to its valuable lessons. From the Epilogue "...the reader who has really been touched by this book will start to work on the operating system he carries around in his own central processing unit -- his head. That will be his reward."

Review :
." . . many of the lessons about managing and leading people are as timely today as they were when the book first appeared." ." . . you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this wonderful book. Once you've digested it, you should then track down all of the other Weinberg textbooks published by Dorset House. . . . Every one of them is a jewel." "I discovered the book in 1977, and decided I wanted to work as an egoless software engineer, not as a radio disk jockey. . . . Sometimes, oldies are goodies. Old books can be even better when they're revised to assess their prophecies and sage advice." "The Psychology of Computer Programming . . . was the first major book to address programming as an individual and team effort, and became a classic in the field. . . . Despite, or perhaps even because of, the perspective of 1971, this book remains a must-read for all software development managers." "What surprised me as I read it again was how timely Weinberg's questions remain."
