Synopsis

Software Exorcism: A Handbook for Debugging and Optimizing Legacy Code discusses sociological forces that make it difficult for a programmer to do their job. There are plenty of books that discuss "how-to-debug," but these books fall short by mistaking a symptom for the illness. This book takes an unflinching look at the true behavioral problems in software engineering. The brutally honest approach and accompanying illustrations from the dark ages make this book a fascinating read. This is a special title that will be both technically useful and visually stimulating to the reader.
