Origin of The One, Right Place

By | December 12, 2004

Back in September, I talked a bit about The One, Right Place and what a useful concept it is. I’m now reading the second edition of Code Complete and ran across this concept once again. More importantly, McConnell references the book where I first read about the concept: Programming on Purpose: Essays on Software Design. This was the first of three books collecting together articles by P. J. Plauger from Computer Language magazine.

The fact that I had forgotten the origin of the One, Right Place tells me that it’s time to re-read these books. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance soon and can review them properly for my site.
