Customer Review: I've not enjoyed a book this much since I read Steven Levy's "Hackers" - the behind-the-scenes stories and discussions are just great. I'm not a programmer by trade, but I dabbled a bit in high school and got some more in-depth training in college, but it wasn't my major... a book like this makes me... more info

The author's approach is at times humorous and provides a learning experience about how some programmers work and how computer programs are created and corrected in a non-technical way This learning... more info
Customer Review: From the subtitle, "Chasing Killer Computer Bugs," you would think that this would be a book about software testing. It isn't. Rather, it's a book about things going wrong with software. The author tells readable stories about some infamous software bugs, at least one of which I've never been able... more info
Customer Review: Books that improve my technical communication skills are few and far between; either the advice is too general or it is simply repeating something Gerald Weinberg once said. Still, being able to explain something to a colleague without sounding authoritative is difficult. My belief is that... more info
