书目名称 | The Seductive Computer | 副标题 | Why IT Systems Alway | 编辑 | Derek Partridge | 视频video | | 概述 | No other book attempts a comprehensive explanation of this fiasco of modern life - certainly not in way that is accessible to the layman, at one level of reading, and is also informatively provocative | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | .IT systems explode budget estimates, bust production deadlines by years, and then fail to work properly. Why this IT-system crisis? Poor programmers? Inadequate project management? No.. .The Seductive Computer. argues that the fundamental nature of programming technology itself is the real culprit; it promises perfection but can only deliver emergent chaos. It is also an insidiously compelling technology, peculiarly male oriented. .IT systems, an unavoidable and increasing reality in all our lives, are something new to man - large-scale discrete complexity. .The Seductive Computer. explains this novelty that defies human understanding.. This book illustrates in a simple yet thorough manner the underlying concepts necessary for understanding the IT-system crisis - not ‘How To Program’ but what the demands of programming are. It then proceeds to lay out the full gamut of issues - all stemming from the nature of the technology.. From development to maintenance IT-system personnel are grappling with incipient chaos. The technicians are seduced by the detailed challenge of the technology. The scientists are seduced by the promises of their technology. The managers and users are seduced | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Computers in Society; IT Systems; Programming Technology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84996-498-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-84996-497-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-84996-498-2 | copyright | Springer-Verlag London Limited 2011 |
