I have to confess that I wanted to read this book because the headlines are very interesting at the very first time.  I ordered and one-and-half month later this book was delivered by Amazon.com, finally I had a chance to read it, thanksfully :).

Every chapter was established on key points of Software Engineering. Author's personal opinions make you smile, sometimes force to think on issues.

In addtion, Author gives a lot of resource books' list at the end of each chapter of the book.

SDLC explanation and illustrations are very thoughtful.

You can see the Sense of humour on the social aspects of software engineering world!
Author has very interesting opinions about why women don't choose programming etc.

When it comes to conclusion, very smart clause waits for you :).

I selected  a page of  this book, for you:)
