One of the earliest good books on software engineering was
Grady Booch's Software Engineering in Ada. The first
couple of chapters are particularly good.
I recently re-read the original 1969 report from the NATO
conference. Everyone with a concern about software
engineering should read that at some time or other. The
sad thing is, that after the recent reading of the report, I
realized that almost all the problems identified then, are
the problems that still confront us today.
