You missed the absolute best of the genre: The Soul of a New Machine, by Tracy Kidder. It's a single case study, but told in such loving detail as to be Pulitzer-worthy.
Also, there's a lot of good primary source material
in "Programmers At Work", by Susan Lammers.
- e1ven 17y agoI don't know how I missed adding Soul of a New Machine. I've read it several times, and it's a wonderful work. I hadn't heard of "Programmers at Work" yet, but it looks like a great read- I suspect in retrospect that it was the inspiration for the name of Jessica Livingston's book. Thanks. I've also just found http://www.landsnail.com/apple/ http://www.landsnail.com/apple/ which looks like it has a great set both Apple-specific and general interest material.
