Description:

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 dynamics, personlaity and programming, interface design, human-machine interaction, and more.
