The Tar Pit of Programming

Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.'s classic, The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is the first selection for the java.net bookclub.

I'm honored to be the moderator for this first bookclub foray and I expect things to get boiling as we attempt to address the tar pits in which we are stuck. I hope that you will join us in examining and discussing the fads, fallacies, dreams, and harsh realities of modern sofware development.
