BOOK



Few books in computing have had as profound an influence on

software management as Peopleware . The unique insight of this

longtime best seller is that the major issues of software

development are human, not technical. They're not easy issues;

but solve them, and you'll maximize your chances of success



"Peopleware has long been one of my two favorite books on

software engineering. Its underlying strength is its base of

immense real experience, much of it quantified. Many, many varied

projects have been reflected on and distilled; but what we are

given is not just lifeless distillate, but vivid examples from

which we share the authors' inductions. Their premise is right:

most software project problems are sociological, not

technological. The insights on team jelling and work environment

have changed my thinking and teaching. The third edition adds

strength to strength."

Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., Kenan Professor of Computer Science

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Author of The

Mythical Man-Month and The Design of Design



"Peopleware is the one book that everyone who runs a software

team needs to read and reread once a year. In the quarter century

since the first edition appeared, it has become more important

not less, to think about the social and human issues in software

develop ment. This is the only way we're going to make more

humane, productive workplaces. Buy it, read it, and keep a stock

on hand in the office supply closet."

Joel Spolsky, Co-founder, Stack Overflow



"When a book about a field as volatile as software design and

use extends to a third edition, you can be sure that the authors

write of deep principle, of the fundamental causes for what we

readers experience, and not of the surface that everyone

recognizes. And to bring people, actual human beings, into the

mix! How excellent. How rare. The authors have made this third

edition, with its additions, entirely terrific."

Lee Devin and Rob Austin, Co-authors of The Soul of Design and

Artful Making



For this third edition, the authors have added six new chapters

and updated the text throughout, bringing it in line with today's

development environments and challenges. For example, the book

now discusses pathologies of leadership that hadn't previously

been judged to be pathological; an evolving culture of meetings;

hybrid teams made up of people from seemingly incompatible

generations; and a growing awareness that some of our most common

tools are more like anchors than propellers. Anyone who needs to

manage a software project or software organization will find

invaluable advice throughout the book
