Every walk of life has its stars and most tech savvy people have heard of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates but one name which is less well known but is equally destined to be remembered in the annals of history is Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.
He is best known as the "father of the IBM System/360," having served as project manager for its development. He wrote a famous software engineering book, about the lessons learned from OS/360, called The Mythical Man-Month and now, 35 years later, Frederick P. Brooks, Jr. has written another book, this time not about software but about design.
