Software Metrics: Establishing a Company-Wide Program Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Its not your typical review that begins by praising the book's bibliography. But, then again, this isn't your typical book. The authors highlight the books that helped them most during their efforts both to create the metrics program and write the book (some 31 sources) followed by the citation of some 185 more sources listed alphabetically. This is a thoroughly researched work.

Don't confuse thorough with academic or theoretical. Included is a whole chapter on selling your metrics program to management including suggested slides and a clear step-by-step list of points to emphasize. A metrics program is as much about people as it is about software and this books is careful to support ideas on both flanks.

If you are interested in starting a metrics program or are just interested how such programs work this is an excellent place to start. I highly recommend it.

Computers Are Your Future, Complete (9th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Several years ago, I regularly taught a course in introduction to microcomputers at the college level. In general, I had two categories of students, those with experience who were taking it as a bunny and those who struggled when using computers. I don't know if I will ever teach such a course again, but if I did, this is the book that I would most likely use as the text.
The coverage is excellent and there is greater depth than you find in most other books that cover this material. The summaries at the end of the chapters provide for immediate feedback, there are a large number of colored diagrams that illustrate the concepts and support the text, which is very readable. Even the students who are uncomfortable with computers will be able to read it and gain understanding.
At this point, this is the best text that I know of for teaching introduction to microcomputers and I strongly recommend it.
