I've been wanting to read Bonnie Nardi's "A Small Matter of Programming: Perspectives on End User Computing" for a while now, but I thought it was trapped in out of print paper only... I just discovered there's a PDF version available at https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/book/6267418, so perhaps of interest to others here who may want to read it as well.

I wrote up a review a couple of years ago, that's gone past the event horizon. But if we do another thread on it I can track it down.

Exactly what I need! Did you buy the book @J. Ryan Stinnett? Looks like it's 15USD ... per chapter 😳

Ah yeah, the per chapter pricing quite high indeed... πŸ˜– At the moment, I have full text access via an institutional affiliation... It does seem trickier to access if paying for just the book alone. 😭 I hate the publisher access model, but since it’s the only electronic version available, I felt it was still worth sharing.
Maybe temporarily subscribing then cancelling is a better deal than paying per chapter...? It’s all terrible though, research should be freely available to all. πŸ˜–

Ooh, @Mariano Guerra has been seriously improving the history search at http://history.futureofcoding.org while I wasn't paying attention. A search for 'Bonnie Nardi' is now super nicely laid out.
