Dreaming in Code

HF's brother gave "Dreaming in Code" to HF as a lunar New Year's day present. HF was very glad - HF really likes book. Though the words of the book was difficult ones (more than those of Steven King's), the story was quite interesting. 

Here is one-line summary: Software is really HARD, by nature. Also the author emphasized that there is no silver bullet, which is also a famous quote of F.Brooks. 

HF's conclusion: There may be no silver bullet for software engineering methodology, but abstraction matters.

동생이 설 선물로 준 Dreaming in Code를 다 읽었다. 단어가 꽤 어려운 편이라 스토리의 제 맛을 다 이해할수는 없었지만 (솔직히 말하면 저자가 글을 잘 쓰지 못했기 때문이라고 생각한다), IT분야의 사람이라면 공감할만한 내용들로 이루어져 있는 책. 아마존에는 별점을 높게 받지는 못한것도 어찌보면 당연한 것이다.
