Covering a variety of areas including software analysis, design, coding and maintenance, this text details the research conducted since the 1970s in this fast-developing field before going on to define a computer program from the viewpoint of computing and cognitive psychology. The two essential sides of programming, software production and software understanding, are given detailed treatment, with parallels drawn throughout between studies on processing texts written in natural language and processing computer programs. Of particular interest to researchers, practitioners and graduates in cognitive psychology, cognitive ergonomics and computer science.

As a software engineer I found this little book very interesting. Throughout the book on a few topics comparisons are drawn between the way people read natural language and code and also the way novice and expert programmers read code. It gave me some insight into what we do and think when we program, and also what to do to get better at it.
