Such books are targeted more towards development in a corporate environment, where every proposal has to go through multiple layers of management, and nothing is ever done by individuals working alone, always by "teams" working on separate parts of the project. And also where the end-users don't really get much say in how things are supposed to work. It's only in such a high-overhead, top-down, cover-your-ass environment that such books are looked on as being at all useful. Possibly on the grounds that nobody ever got fired for buying them. I'd say languages like Python and Perl are the absolute antithesis of this sort of development culture. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
