为什么值得读
- 为构建高效工程团队提供经典思考框架
- 源自IBM360大型项目的实战经验与教训
- 提出极具洞察力且至今适用的工期定律
探讨software engineering中人性维度的经典之作，收录了关于软件团队管理、计算机语言与工具未来演进预测以及哲学思考的散文论述。与大多数关于计算的图书不同，Brooks的著作历久弥新，连续印行了至少四十年。该书最著名的莫过于对Brooks' Law的阐述：“为延期的软件项目增加人手，只会让它更加延期”。

……10。或者就像马克·塞尼（Mark Cerny，我们在《古惑狼》项目的制作人）常跟我们说的那样，“数字加一，单位放大一级：1 周 = 2 个月；2 个月 = 3 年；3 年 = 彻底完蛋”。如果想看个没那么戏谑的版本，去读读《人月神话》（The Mythical Man Month）吧。（他得出的系数是 9。）
…10. Or, as Mark Cerny (our producer on Crash) used to tell us, "add one and increase the unit: 1 week = 2 months; 2 months = 3 years; 3 years = you're doomed". For a less anecdotal version, read The Mythical Man Month. (The factor he arrives at is 9.)
《人月神话》（The Mythical Man-Month）。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month 虽说是 40 年前写的，但放到今天依然不过时。思考如何打造高效的工程团队实在是太重要了。
The Mythical Man-Month. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month It was written 40 years ago, but it is still relevant to today. Its so important to think about how to build effective engineering teams.
……再加上数据库。这些东西你花两周就能掌握真正实用的知识，而如果不懂，资深工程师可能就不乐意和你共事了。所以仿照这门课列一下： 《人月神话》（The Mythical Man Month） 《设计模式》（Design Patterns）——哪怕里面有些具体细节已经过时，它依然提供了一个非常有用的思考框架。 《软件测试经验与教训》（Lessons Learned in Software Testing: A Context-Driven Approach） 我还会加上……
…databases to that. These are things you can gain a true functional knowledge of in a couple of weeks, and which not knowing might make senior engineers hate working with you. So to mimic the class: The Mythical Man Month Design Patterns - Even if some of the particulars are not as relevant, it still provides a useful framework for thought. Lessons Learned in Software Testing: A Context-Driven Approach I'd also add…
有三本书我建议你尽快去读：1) 《人月神话》（The Mythical Man month） 3) 《程序员修炼之道》（The Pragmatic Programmer） 3) 《代码大全》（Code Complete）。这些书的厉害之处在于——至少第 1 本和第 3 本是这样——它们刚出版时都具有开创性意义。或者换个说法，它们是开先河的……
Three boks I'll recommend you read as soon as possible. 1) The Mythical Man month 3) The Pragmatic Programmer 3) Code Complete. The thing about these books, well atleast 1 and 3 is that when they were written they broke new ground. Or if that phrase bother you, they were the first…
……带有商业效率类书籍的影子，充斥着大家都懂的常识性观点，比如《追求卓越》（里面的案例全是编的，合著者还说这有什么大不了的？）。就算是 Fred Brooks 的《人月神话》——基于他主导 IBM 押上身家性命的“360”项目的经验——也缺乏数据支撑。不过它依然很神（额……个人主观意见，大概吧）。
…have aspects of business productivity books, with well-known common-sense ideas, like In Search of Excellence (which made up case studies, and a co-author said what's the problem?) Even Fred Brooks' Mythical Man-Month - informed by his leadership of the massive bet-the-company "360" project at IBM - lacks data. It's still great though (in, uh... my subjective opinion, I guess).
……计算机科学家——几乎没人从头到尾读完过，大家都是断章取义地截取片段为己所用，平时大多放在书架上吃灰撑门面。技术管理类看 Fred Brooks 的《人月神话》（The Mythical Man-Month）。广告/营销行业看大卫·奥格威的《一个广告人的自白》（Confessions of an Advertising Man）。软件设计看“四人组”（Gang of Four）的《设计模式：可复用面向对象软件的基础》……
…computer scientists - hardly anybody's read it all the way through, people quote bits of it out of context for their own ends and it mostly sits on shelves looking impressive while gathering dust. The Mythical Man-Month by Fred Brooks for tech management. Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy for advertising/marketing industry. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by the "Gang…
