レビュー
...Ensmenger has crafted an orderly and well organized argument that the dynamics of managing computer firms have often been as complex as the subject matter itself... In this important way, The Computer Boys Take Over is learned, well-documented with citations, and often humorous—with numerous period cartoons and company advertisements that nicely support the text. Such a study of computing's early and arguably most important years, is long overdue.—High Tech History blog—

Good read - stops a decade too early
2018年11月14日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This was an excellent social history of programmers from about the late 40s to the early 70s. The author does a very good job showing how a lot of contemporary topics in software development have their roots in problems our predecessors identified and grappled with. He also does a very good job examining the impact and underlying dynamics of the professionalization of programming.
My biggest gripe with this book is that he stops a decade too early. The 70s saw the emergence of the programmer-turned-CEO, the logical conclusion of the tend toward professionalization he spends so much time on. For a book titled "The Computer Boys Take Over", I was disappointed to see that companies like Microsoft aren't even mentioned. I understand he's interested in a particular moment in history, but I think the narrative would have had much more connection to the present if he had included the 70s.

Review of Ensmenger's "The computer boys take over" by Paul F. Ross
Nathan Ensmenger's sociological history of the stored-program digital computer prompts, again, the question "What is history?" I welcomed his book for it promised a look at the interaction between the computer and the scientific, business, government, and opinion-leading communities that have embraced the computer's existence. This history would look for the computer's influence on the course of events, on the way we think about ourselves and guide our affairs. Instead, Ensmenger examines the emerging computer-society interaction from the point of view of the computer careerist, also viewing the challenge to ____________________________________________________________________________________

sponsors and managers of computer-based projects, the search for the proper skills and education needed for preparation as a computer careerist, and the careerists' efforts to forge widely recognized social and professional identity. Ensmenger limits this history to recording events as seen by computing careerists at the time history was being experienced, thus overlooking the historian's and behavioral scientist's opportunity, the outsider's opportunity, to understand events based on retrospective and perspective-enlarged analysis. This review disects Ensmenger's history and seeks to offer a larger framework for further historical analysis.
Ensmenger's history, published in 2010, is based on his PhD dissertation completed in 2001 at the University of Pennsylvania where he now teaches. It covers events from about 1945 to 1980. Data from the three most recent decades, 1980 - 2010, almost do not enter Ensmenger's database! This reader understands that a PhD candidate needs to tailor dissertation research to the time and resources available, understands that Ensmenger has added to his dissertation while creating this book, is pleased to have in hand what has been accomplished, but also sees important work yet to be done.

Historical insights into the computing industry, with implications for computing education
2013年7月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A fascinating book that covers a critical part of the history of the computing industry, when computing shifted from being a science and engineering marvel, to a business necessity. That transition created an enormous need for computer programmers, and lead to the creation of programming languages (e.g., Fortran, COBOL, ADA) and the development of "software engineering" in response to the "software crisis." The author argues that the responses to that transition leads us to the characteristics of the modern computing industry. For example, he argues that the (failed) attempts to professionalize computer programming is what led to the retreat of women from the field. As a computing educator and education researcher, the book gave me new insights into the role that education plays in software engineering, the "software crisis," and the future of our field. Highly recommended.
