Title: Who says life doesn't come with instructions?
Review: It does, as far as your life as a software engineer or manager thereof goes. This book spells out everything, from getting started on a project to maintaining it after release.Each principle is given as a heading, each on a separate page, and every one of them is true. A short explanation follows each one. Other principles that relate are pointed out. But the true value is the footer on each page. It is a pointer to the literature where you can find the principle in question discussed definitively.Ultimately, this book functions as a directory/index to every aspect of software engineering. If you need to know a phone number, you look it up in the phone book. If you need to know something about software engineering practices -- you can look it up here.
