If
you're involved in the creation of software products, whether as
a developer, tester, technical writer, manager, or other role,
you will find something useful here.  From book review pages, you can click on a link to buy a copy
from fatbrain.com
technical bookstore. I am an affiliate, which means I get a
percentage of the purchase price if you buy.  I welcome reviews from others. Contact me at marick@exampler.com. Click here for a description of
