Gerald Weinberg keeps popping up in a lot of recommended reading lists. Currently reading "Are your lights on?" and "Secrets of Consulting". He seems to be a prolific author, and seemingly unknown. By cover art on his books, I assume he self-publishes his books.
- inetsee 6y agoI wouldn't describe Gerald Weinberg as "seemingly unknown". He wrote "The Psychology of Computer Programming" which I believe was very influential in its day (it was published in 1985).
- Procrastes 6y agoAlot of his books were published by Dorset in the 80s. He passed away in 2018. So I'm assuming this is his estate and family re-releasing the books. I'm not sure if the Indie covers are an intentional branding approach or an indication that it's the efforts of one family member. Absolutely fantastic books by they way.I still recommend Secrets of Consulting to every CS graduate I meet.
