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]

- Coding
- Maintenance
- Management
- Corporate Wisdom
- Hardware and Software
- Epilogue
