Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware

I just finished a great book last night, Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware, and I thought I would write a little review while it is still fresh in my mind.

The author, Andy Hunt, uses the book to present a broad survey of current cognitive science and psychology using the language of software developers. Its a nice combination of background material and practical tools and examples. While I had read about most of the material in the book already from other sources it does a great job of pulling all the information and tools together to help you understand it all in context (one of the author’s favorite words).

The book is filled with suggestions to try concepts out in the book and I plan to do just that. I’m building a project wiki after I complete this post to better understand and track an ongoing requirements document for a project that I am working on.

I’d recommend the book to any developers out there. I plan to read it again soon myself.
