“This is book tracks the legend Mictch Kapor (the father of Lotus) and how he sets forth an open source foundation and his very first open source sofware project (Chandler) from the very birth of the idea, to forming a team (and what a team it is - filled with experienced programmers from the valley), etc with an aim to understand why creating software is so difficult. But there's more - Scott Rosenberg has provided a wealth of information, often sidetracking on relevant issues, filled with enough references to keep one busy for a good year. If you play any part in Software development, then this book is definitely for you! Scott's writing style is pleasant, informative & entertaining - anyone with previous experience in software projects will immediately relate to this book, getting hooked in from the beginning till the very end - seeking more...as I am now, trawling through the references, looking for my next book to read.”
