No doubt, you've heard many claims about how some tool,
technology, or practice improves software development.
But which claims are verifiable, and which are merely
wishful thinking? In this book, leading thinkers such as
Steve McConnell, Barry Boehm, and Barbara Kitchenham
offer essays that uncover the truth and unmask myths
commonly held among the software development community.
Do different programming languages really make people
more productive? Is copy-and-paste programming a bad
practice? And why do some people find it so hard to learn
how to program? By understanding what facts are real and
which claims are pure hype, you'll be better equipped to
determine the tools, technologies, and best practices
that will best address your needs.
