Software isn't a mature, rigorous field relentlessly marching forward into the future. Silicon engineering is, sure. But our field is constantly constantly rediscovering stuff from the 60's and 70's, and going through fashions and fads.
A software book being old really doesn't matter to me IMO. We still don't really know what we're doing yet.
