New Year Gifts :)
The books we ordered have just arrived: great gifts for the new year 
I will start with classic book of software engineering – The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering first which was first published in 1975 by Fred Brooks. This anniversary edition includes four new chapters and I really wonder about the evolution of software engineering and the human factor in the past 33 years. I can’t wait especially for the legendary The Mythical-Man Month and No Silver Bullet essays.
Peopleware is another oldies/goldies project management book, first published in 1987, described as “Anti-Dilbert Manifesto”
Agile Project Management book from Ken Schwaber, one of the originators of the Scrum process. Agile development process explained with lots of examples, success and failure projects.
I wish you a Happy New Year!

Kris,
I really enjoyed reading the essays at The Mythical Man Month, the examples are a little bit different than today(generally based on the IBM days, OS/360 development), but it’s very interesting to see that very little things changed at Software world, especially for big projects
Thanks a lot…
I saw the book “The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering” yesterday in the library. Wanted to pickup but passed on it. And I did read Peopleware. You revive my interest. Happy Reading.
