Title: What a waste
Review: The book has a fantastic title and that's where it stops. Alan Cooper takes an entire book to tell us that software needs to be designed - a shock from someone who created a language that allows programmers to avoid design altogether, Visual Basic. He spends half the book knocking software engineers and the other half plugging his own company. Sprinkled in between are a few good ideas, but by the time you get around the author's arrogant style you no longer enjoy the insights he may offer.It's a pity that a book with such a great title is wasted on uninteresting and repetitious dreariness. It really goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover.
