"An illuminating guide, providing fresh and invigorating
perspectives guaranteed to stick with you long after you boot
up."--San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle"This is a clear,
insightful book that takes an alternative look at some of the
broader issues surrounding software development.... The commentary
on the work of Christopher Alexander, currently being taken up so
fervently by the software architecture community, is particularly
appealing."--Sanjiv Gossain, Associate Director, Cambridge
Technology PartnersFrom the Foreword by Christopher Alexander:
"What was fascinating to me, indeed quite astonishing, was that in
Gabriel's essay I found out that a computer scientist, not known to
me, and whom I had never met, seemed to understand more about what
I had done and was trying to do in my own field than my own
colleagues who are architects."
