“When I set out to write An Introduction to General Systems Thinking, I had already written a half-dozen books on thinking -- but all in the context of thinking about computer programming. . . . I decided to leave the programming language business to others and to concentrate on more general principles of thinking. As a result, I first published The Psychology of Computer Programming and then this book. Now, more than a generation later, both books are still around, quietly doing their work.”
--from the preface to the Silver Anniversary Edition
Gerald M. Weinberg has programmed, researched, managed, and taught both in industry and academia for more than four decades. As a principal of Weinberg and Weinberg, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, he teaches and consults in ways for people to become more productive.
