After reading about the joys of international food, it’s time to turn to less flavourful material.
From Amazon:
Head First PMP offers 100% coverage of The PMBOK(R) Guide principles and certification objectives in a way that’s engaging, not tedious. This book helps you prepare for the PMP certification exam with a unique method that goes beyond answers to specific questions and makes you think about the big picture of project management. By putting project management concepts into context, you will be able to understand, remember, and apply them-not just on the exam, but also on the job.
I have no interest in being a project manager, but as a software architect I butt heads with them on a frequent enough occasion that it’s worth making the effort to understand where they’re coming from. I’ve also heard some good things about the Head First series of books – I picked up their version of Design Patterns as well – and wanted to see whether their “engaging” method was better than other books I’ve read.
I’m about 100 pages in so far, and it’s certainly leisurely reading. With the amount of diagrams and redundancy, one can go pretty fast.
