Review:
"This book is very easy to read, and is so entertaining that it is hard to put down.... An excellent book, and a must-read for software professionals." (Choice)
"This book's great glory is the author's implicit, but pervasive, notion that the human interface extends through software; and that programs are just ways that people tell computers what they should be doing. . . . [A] book filled with points to think about well before you start coding menus or screens." (UnixWorld)
"The book provides a stimulating read, with a fair sprinkling of controversial opinions from which intelligent readers . . . will draw their own conclusions."---J. Dodd, Information and Science Technology
"A witty look at the foibles of software engineering, based on real examples. . . . This voice of experience offers a good dose of humility to arrogant young programmers." (American Mathematical Monthly)
