The Tao of Programming is a book written in 1987 by Geoffrey James. Written in a tongue-in-cheek style spoof of classic Taoist texts such as the Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi which belies its serious message, it consists of a series of short anecdotes divided into nine "books":[1]
- The Silent Void
- The Ancient Masters
- Design
- Coding
- Maintenance
- Management
- Corporate Wisdom
- Hardware and Software
- Epilogue
Geoffrey James wrote two other books on this theme, The Zen of Programming (978–0931137099) in 1988 and Computer Parables: Enlightenment in the Information Age (978–0931137136) in 1989.
