Great Software Debates (Practitioners) ReviewThis not a bad book, but if you happen to read IEEE Software regularly, there is almost nothing new. I have not yet read the whole book, and Davis claims that he has updated the original articles, but most of the stuff has not changed.
On the other hand, if you have not read the articles before, they are quite fun to read, e.g. "Art or Engineering, One More Time".
But I have an issue with the title: the "debates" are mostly some paragraphs at the end of the article, that are more like questions in a text book that might start a debate, but do not really dig into a controversial issue.
I very much prefer, Robert E. Glass': "Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering", which contains similiar topics, but is much more to the point. And makes the controversies on his issues much more explicit.
Funnily, Glass, on the other hand, thinks very highly of an older book of Davis': "201 Principles of Software Development"Great Software Debates (Practitioners) OverviewThe industry's most outspoken and insightful critic explains how the software industry REALLY works.
In Great Software Debates, Al Davis, shares what he has learned about the difference between the theory and the realities of business and encourages you to question and think about software engineering in ways that will help you succeed where others fail.
In short, provocative essays, Davis fearlessly reveals the truth about process improvement, productivity, software quality, metrics, agile development, requirements documentation, modeling, software marketing and sales, empiricism, start-up financing, software research, requirements triage, software estimation, and entrepreneurship. He will get you thinking about:
The danger of following trends and becoming a ‘software lemming'
Is software development art or engineering?
How to survive management mistakes
The bizarre world of software estimation
How to succeed as software entrepreneur
How to resolve incompatible schedules and requirements

If you are in the software industry and do not know which way to turn, Great Software Debates provides valuable and insightful advice. Whether you are a software developer, software manager, software executive, entrepreneur, requirements writer, architect, designer, or tester, you will find no shortage of sound, palatable advice.
