Software State-of-the-Art
Expert consultants Tom DeMarco and Tim Lister have combed through ten years' worth of software magazines and journals and selected thirty-one of the best articles on software issues. The articles were chosen for their fresh, new insights on the software profession as well as for their readability. More than a dozen sources are represented, including IEEE Computer, Software Practice & Experience, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, and Communications of the ACM.
