The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer Scientist is the winner of Turing Award, father of software engineering and author of The Mythical Man-Month Frederick P. Brooks‘s another masterpiece – specially designed to reveal the essence of software designing!
For software development, project or building, effective design is always the core of work. While the fact is, the things we really know about design process is so little that there is no need to mention how to perform effective and elegant design. The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer Scientist accurately found the inner invariants exist in all kinds of design projects, revealed the procedure and pattern for excellent designs, and encouraged developers to regard bold innovation as the core power in software engineering.
Although The Design of Design was published in 2010, it came with epoch-making milestone meaning, which determines it is a classic work that should be read again and again by each architect, project manager and developer engaged in software industry.
