Creativity in Software dichotomies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book really looks at software creativity from a number of dichotomies - Ancient Greek (bring your own hammer) v. Rome (Let's build this together), Discipline v. Flexible, Formal v. Heuristics, extrinsic v. intrinsic motivations, science v. art and a number of others. These topics are all addressed in a series of very easy to read essays that takes the reader through the journey of determining what is best. I found this a very good read and one that I will ponder for sometime.
