The mythical man-month

Harps borrowed this book from Ted today. And Harps was generous to give me a chance to peek into it :) and yeppers,I have added it to my "A must read" list. The basic outlines of the book are elicited here. And you can read the "100 star" reviews about the book here.

Although, the book has been written way before even I was born, the principles of software engineering the author delineates in the book still remain contemporary, just because they are pure common sense principles.
