{"product_id":"the-nerd-factor-john-chambers-9781089927594","title":"The Nerd Factor: The Hidden Hindrance that will Stall any Software Solution","description":"Software projects are notorious for cost-overruns and never getting done. The culprit is not malice or even incompetence, but the unwitting NERD. You cannot tell a nerd by his or her looks. They come in all shapes and sizes, speak a hundred different languages, but have one thing in common: The Nerd Factor.John Chambers was 30 years a software developer and entrepreneur. Early on, he saw that certain people made a project more difficult. Most nerds, he discovered, are teachable. They can overcome the \"nerd factor\" in them. Most programmers and analysts, in his experience, are not nerds. For the small minority which do wreak havoc on any project, most require only a little education and become de-nerded (if that is a word). Only a tiny minority of the minority refuse to change.If you are in the software profession, or you hire, train, or pay those who are, you need to be able to spot the Nerd Factor and know what to do about it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Chambers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1089927592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781089927594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.26d","brand":"John Chambers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216669126911,"sku":"9781089927594","price":21.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e61e9cab-f012-47ec-85ac-b8e7a0b3d31c.jpg?v=1771992557","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nerd-factor-john-chambers-9781089927594","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
