Software Fundamentals: Collected Papers by Davil L. Parnas
by David Lorge Parnas, et al.
Despite a half-century of practice, a distressingly large portion of today's software is over budget, behind schedule, bloated, and buggy. To those who wonder why, and whether anything can be done about it, I have long recommended The Mythical Man-Month, by Frederick P. Brooks Jr. This book has stayed continuously in print since 1975, and has remained remarkably relevant. Now there is another book I would put beside it: Software Fundamentals: Collected Papers by David L. Parnas. This book is more technical and less management-oriented, but equally thought-provoking. --A customer from Palo Alto

CodeWarrior Pro's integrated development environment (IDE) acts as your secretary, double-checker, project manager, and overall programming resource. The theme that we found apparent throughout our use of this huge package was its versatility. Many packages claim to offer flexibility in the numerous functions and features they can perform, but CodeWarrior backs up its claim with one of the smartest organization systems out there.
