Book ReviewCoding Slave
time to read 1 min | 123 words

I bought this book because I was certain that it was dilbert-in-a-book. The book is supposed to be about an ERP implementation in a company, and the start was really promsing.

The problem is with the rest of the book, which then digress to the characters acting in totally unbelievable ways (whatever-it-takes-to-please-the-client, for example) and the book stops being fun.

The worst part of it that the book is trying to sell you the author's point of view regarding the way we should develop software. I'm not saying that it would be a good way to do so, but somehow I felt like reading some of  Karl Marx's works.

All in all, I didn't like it very much.
