商品描述


 

Few books in computing have had as profound an influence on software management as Peopleware . The unique insight of this longtime best seller is that the major issues of software development are human, not technical. They’re not easy issues; but solve them, and you’ll maximize your chances of success.

 

Peopleware has long been one of my two favorite books on software engineering. Its underlying strength is its base of immense real experience, much of it quantified. Many, many varied projects have been reflected on and distilled; but what we are given is not just lifeless distillate, but vivid examples from which we share the authors’ inductions. Their premise is right: most software project problems are sociological, not technological. The insights on team jelling and work environment have changed my thinking and teaching. The third edition adds strength to strength.”

— Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., Kenan Professor of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Author of The Mythical Man-Month and The Design of Design


Peopleware is the one book that everyone who runs a software team needs to read and reread once a year. In the quarter century since the first edition appeared, it has become more important, not less, to think about the social and human issues in software develop¿ment. This is the only way we’re going to make more humane, productive workplaces. Buy it, read it, and keep a stock on hand in the office supply closet.”

—Joel Spolsky, Co-founder, Stack Overflow


“When a book about a field as volatile as software design and use extends to a third edition, you can be sure that the authors write of deep principle, of the fundamental causes for what we readers experience, and not of the surface that everyone recognizes. And to bring people, actual human beings, into the mix! How excellent. How rare. The authors have made this third edition, with its additions, entirely terrific.”

—Lee Devin and Rob Austin, Co-authors of The Soul of Design and Artful Making

 

For this third edition, the authors have added six new chapters and updated the text throughout, bringing it in line with today’s development environments and challenges. For example, the book now discusses pathologies of leadership that hadn’t previously been judged to be pathological; an evolving culture of meetings; hybrid teams made up of people from seemingly incompatible generations; and a growing awareness that some of our most common tools are more like anchors than propellers. Anyone who needs to manage a software project or software organization will find invaluable advice throughout the book.

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《人軟體》是一本在軟體管理領域具有深遠影響的書籍,很少有其他書籍能像它一樣深入探討軟體開發的主要問題是人性而非技術。這些問題並不容易解決,但若能解決,將能最大程度地提高成功的機會。

「人軟體」一直是我在軟體工程領域中最喜歡的兩本書之一。它的優勢在於基於豐富的實際經驗,其中很多都有量化的數據支持。這本書反映了許多不同的專案,並將其精煉為寶貴的經驗。我們所得到的不僅僅是無生命的精華,還有生動的例子,我們可以從中分享作者的歸納。他們的前提是正確的:大多數軟體專案的問題是社會學的,而非技術性的。關於團隊凝聚力和工作環境的洞察改變了我的思維和教學。第三版更加強了這些優勢。

- Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., 北卡羅來納大學教堂山分校計算機科學教授,《神話般的人月》和《設計的設計》作者

《人軟體》是每個軟體團隊負責人每年都應該閱讀和重讀的一本書。在第一版問世的25年中,思考軟體開發中的社會和人性問題變得更加重要。這是我們實現更人性化、高效的工作場所的唯一途徑。購買它,閱讀它,並在辦公室備有一些備用。

- Joel Spolsky, Stack Overflow聯合創始人

當一本關於如此變動不居的軟體設計和使用領域的書籍出版第三版時,你可以確信作者們寫的是深層原則,是我們讀者所體驗到的根本原因,而不僅僅是表面上大家都認可的東西。而且還將真實的人類納入其中!多麼出色,多麼罕見。作者們使這第三版更加出色,並增加了一些內容。

- Lee Devin和Rob Austin,《設計的靈魂》和《巧妙製造》合著者

在這第三版中,作者們新增了六個新章節,並對全書進行了更新,使其與當今的開發環境和挑戰保持一致。例如,書中現在討論了以前未被認為是病態的領導病態、會議文化的演變、由看似不相容的世代組成的混合團隊,以及對一些常用工具的認識越來越像錨而非推進器。任何需要管理軟體專案或軟體組織的人都會在這本書中找到寶貴的建議。
