I think this course should be taken by managers, designers, and even software engineers. Programming for Everyone - An Introduction to Visual Programming Languages. Some thoughts on some specific courses and books that I think would be helpful to better understand the goals of software development and design and ways to think about it all: The real constraints should be what the software should do and specifications on that, including how the software is intended to be maintained and extended. It puts pressure on the system to conform to how they think it should be, which is usually not necessarily how it should be, and it basically adds unnecessary constraints. In my experience, clients, whether they be external or internal or colleagues, getting too involved into what they think the implementation should be is usually a disaster. If you are helping to design the app, you shouldn't necessarily need to understand the implementation details. In general, I do also echo some of the other comments. In general, it is helpful to understand software development as a sub-field of systems theory and design, so any book that discusses systems should help one better understand software development. It's still an evolving field and process. Software engineers still don't know how to exactly or even efficiently communicate with each other. I don't think there's an easy answer to this question. There are a few others I have in mind, but just can't recall the titles at the moment. (I still have them, may give them a re-read next month.)

I'm a bit fuzzy, now, about which one I was more interested in but both were good books. I was always interested in ciphers and such as a kid so those two books got my attention when I found them in high school/college. It's well-written, and a motivated high schooler could work through it. I've read the first edition, not the second. ) - more technical (has content to work through).

Especially approachable for that age.Įlements of Computing Systems by Nisan & Schoken (. ) - non-technical (in the sense it isn't something to 'work through'), covers a lot of interesting topics. (Including Amazon links, but just for convenience, buy wherever you want)Ĭode by Petzold (.
