Summary: Great book about design of non-object-oriented systems
Review: A real classic like Tom DeMarco's "Structured Analysis and System Specification". One of the top ten favorites in my bookshelf.

Summary: An old friend
Review: I have been making my life (and my family's) as a programmer for more than 15 years, in three countries (Cuba, Spain and USA) and two languages (regular Spanish and bad English).
I read this book about 12-14 years ago, and it taught me more about programming than any other document. For the pleasure of do it, I translated it from English to Spanish, believe or not: hand written, after hours during several months, in the early 90s. I (believe) still have these papers and the book with me, regardless the many places, cities and countries where I have spent the last 12 years. I'll check when get home tonight. I'm working right now, and suddenly, this book came to my mind. So, I jumped into Amazon to search it and I liked to see the rate of the book and how another (intelligent) people wrote about it.

Summary: Also an entertaining book.
Review: This book is actually fun to read. The authors style is easy to read and includes many anecdotes about his experiences working in the real world. Many times I find myself saying (in my head) yeah! yeah! as he sheds new light on the subject for me - a born again spaghetti coder. Well worth the money.

Summary: Still superb after all these years
Review: This book, along with two others by the likes of Ed Yourdon and Larry Constantine, gave me tools I haved used regularly for nearly 30 years now. Today I am helping a younger colleague regain control of an out-of-control project by passing on to him some fundamental principles of system design that are outlined in this book. I came here to Amazon to see if this book was even still available. Now I'm going to suggest to my colleague that he return here and buy it before another day on the project "slips" by.Nuff said.

Summary: Absolute Classic and Must have, Must Read, Must be Close
Review: This is the best book I have ever read on program design. I have been using his structure charts ever since I learned the technique from the book about 10 years ago.

Summary: Absolute Classic and Must have, Must Read, Must be Close
Review: This is the classic text about structured design. Consise, to the point, relevant, fun to read ... Too bad that there is nothing comparable for OOD or even for component based design. Buy it, read it every other year brouse in it every other week. One ot my favorites. I'd take it on an island.

Summary: Best book ever written !!!
Review: Yes, I would personally rate this as of the best book ever written on the subject of design. I read this book many years ago and it inspired me to build robust systems and enjoy my career in Information Technology. I treasure this book. Even today, I can evaluate a design by applying basic principles outlined in this book. This book is equal to the classic "The Mythical man-Month".
