Summary

This book offers practical insights into the human side of software development.

Great software doesn't come from tools, it comes from people. That's why software development is so difficult to manage, much less automate. In this book, Software Development columnist Larry Constantine brings together new ideas on all the human issues of software development: quality and productivity, teamwork, group dyanmics, personality and programming, project management and organizational issues, interface design, human-machine interaction, cognition, and psychology. Constantine on Peopleware is a wide ranging series of essays, consistently thought-provoking.
