Paterfamilias of "American Chopper," observed that when you're sitting across the table negotiating a business contract, the fact that the other guy realizes you could beat the living crap out of him gives you a valuable psychological edge. The above explains why Gerald Weinberg, in The Psychology of Computer Programming (written in the 1970s, and still applicable), states that if a programmer becomes indispensable, you should fire him immediately. These are The Psychology of Computer Programming. Even in the computer programmer example, although many are in fact quietly against H-1B visas, those that support the visas might see the appearance of being progressive and non-confrontational as being in their self-interest. Reduction of computer fears was examined by comparing changes in computer attitudes over a semester among two introductory computer programming classes and one introductory psychology class (N=50). Sometimes things go beautifully, sometimes a programmer spends whole days beating his head against the wall on a single point, until finally the light bulb lights up. Egoless programming's roots lie in the book, “The Psychology of Computer Programming” by Jerry Weinburg, 1971. Business; Medical/HealthCare; Computer Technology; Computer Engineering; Psychology; Computer Programming. Weinburg describes a style of development environment relying heavily on peer reviews. Instead of being focused solely on the code being written, The Psychology of Computer Programming looks at the thought process behind the person actually writing the code. As I understand it, this book is a cult classic, and I was very curious to read it. Initially, the university will offer five courses online, covering topics including psychology, computer programming, and English common law. Missouri residents who earn a Bachelor's degree are 50% less likely to become unemployed. Anyway, my challenge – to myself – will be to read and post a review of the books in there. Computer-Programming I recently read (sort of) Frederick Brooks's The Mythical Man-Month. Then there's the Psychology of Computer Programming - but that's from the 20th anniversary printing.
