Title: readable but forgetable
Review: This very short book summarizes software engineering concepts that we have all heard elsewhere, although the author does an excellent job of presenting it in a readable form.My biggest complaint is that the author's usual audience (the programmers) will read this rather than upper management, the people who really need to understand this stuff. McConnell has established himself as a technical, not a business expert. Maybe he should partner up with someone like Tom Peters to write a book titled "A Passion for Excellent Software" because then upper management would read it and think about. This book is essentially preaching to the converted.
