Software creativity

the long version

If you, like the author, feel that software construction is primarily a problem-solving activity, all problem-solving requires creativity, software problem-solving is deeply complex, and software problem-solving requires the ultimate in creativity, then this book is for you. In Software Creativity, Robert L. Glass answers the question, "Which is more important in software construction: Brilliant process or brilliant people coming down solidly on the side of people?". Glass draws on more than 30 years of personal experience as a software engineer and educator to present an unorthodox approach to software problem-solving that suggests solutions lie not in discipline, formality, and quantitative reasoning - but in flexibility, creativity, and qualitative reasoning.
