The Tao of Programming is a book written in 1987 by Geoffrey James. Written in a tongue-in-cheek style spoof of classic Taoist texts such as the Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi which belies its serious message, it consists of a series of short anecdotes divided into nine "books":[1]

  • The Silent Void
  • The Ancient Masters
  • Design
  • Coding
  • Maintenance
  • Management
  • Corporate Wisdom
  • Hardware and Software
  • Epilogue

Geoffrey James wrote two other books on this theme, The Zen of Programming (978-0931137099) in 1988 and Computer Parables: Enlightenment in the Information Age (978-0931137136) in 1989.
