"This book is written from a powerfully felt, personal perspective:
that software construction is primarily a problem-solving activity;
that all problem-solving requires creativity; that software
problem-solving is deeply complex, perhaps more deeply complex than
any other activity; and that, therefore, software problem-solving
requires the ultimate in creativity." --Robert L. Glass, from the
Preface In Software Creativity 2.0, acclaimed author Robert L.
Glass explores a critical, yet strangely neglected, question: What
is the role of creativity in software engineering and computer
programming? With his trademark easy-to-read style and practical
approach, backed by research and personal experience, Glass takes
on a wide range of related angles and implications. To name only a
few: * Are discipline and formality at odds with flexibility and
agility? * When are control-driven vs. experimentation-driven
approaches most effective? * Can we "make creativity happen" in a
software organization? * Which is more important, process or
product? * How do theory and practice interact in the software
field? Can practitioners and academe complement each other more
effectively? * Is there a missing link between creativity and
software design? * What is the balance of "intellectual" and
"clerical" tasks in software work? * Can we still find a place for
plain old fun? Revised, updated, and expanded, Software Creativity
2.0 also features a new Foreword by Tom DeMarco, author of
Peopleware, and a new Preface by author Robert L. Glass.
