mythical man-month
I just finished reading the mythical man-month; a clasic book on system development practices that was written in the 70's and revised in the early 90's.
It is interesting to read this in conjunction with the cathedral and the baazar and with the linux and unix philosoph books I have mentioned before. The mythical man-month is a book about the cathedral method of system development. I can't really argue with any of its points - if one is going to build a large project in the cathedral mode, this is the book on how to do it. I was struck by how 'dated' it seemed to be - it is so 20th century.
