Anything that focuses on specifics will get out of date, but the
generalities don't. Here in the 2010s, I'm passing on to my students
design advice (eg relational database schemas, laying out program
code) that I learned from my father in the 1990s, and which he learned
in the 1970s, and which probably have been passed down since the
invention of programming, back in about 4004 BC. So there's often
*something* you can learn from an old book - but I still wouldn't
recommend a novice start out by picking up something that starts with
the proper way to install hard drive platters in an IBM System/360,
even if it does have a lot of sage wisdom in it :)
