Software Creativity 2.0 by Robert Glass (as the title implies and you might expect) is centered around creativity in the processes, methodologies, organizations, and people responsible for producing software. I concur with Steve McConnell's glowing review (Landmark Book, On a Par with People Ware and Mythical Man-Month).

Robert Glass has given the software world many gifts during his 50 year career in software development. This book stands above his other contributions as his magnum opus. I cannot recommend it highly enough. - Steve McConnell

There’s no need for my personal review, but I will say that if Robert Glass had a blog this book would no doubt be his best of.

Interesting excerpts from Software Creativity 2.0:

"When I began working in industry. I was appalled to find that nothing I had learned in graduate school bore the slightest relationship to what I was asked to do on the job."

"Practice often precedes and helps form theory"

"The more a creative person knows about the subject of focus, the less the need for creativity."

"In order to think originally, we must familiarize ourselves with the ideas of others"

Notes about the Creative person’s traits:

"They are especially observant …"

"They see things as others do, but also as others do not."

"They are by constitution more vigorous and have available them an exceptional fund of psychic and physical energy."

"They usually lead more complex lives, seeking tension …"

"The creative person is both more primitive and more cultured, more destructive and more constructive, crazier and saner, than the average person."

Keep in mind I've omitted some of Robert's earth shattering excerpts since I've read a couple of his other books (see this older post for details) - my chosen excerpts don't do justice to the book. Read it yourself! :)
