The Tech Contracts Handbook: Software Licenses, Cloud Computing Agreements, and Other It Contracts for Lawyers and Businesspeople

Great book for clearing concepts

One of the best books I have read on contracts. I have hardly come across a better book on software contracts.

This is the best book on the contract terms and guidance on when and how to use the terms.

Useful and simple guide to understand IT contracts.

As a non-lawyer I have found this book very helpful. What it does well is cover all the key sections you may want in a IT contract with drafting options and some explanation of key concepts, pros-cons, and 'why'. It's a great book to have alongside you as an aide memoire even though just about any contract you do is likely to have much more sophisticated/detailed drafting.It's written in an American legal style and law as you'd expect but the 'why' is the same for England and Wales law and in my opinion the drafting can transfer with a few stylistic changes.

With the advent of cloud computing came new ways of selling software services. These new distribution models require a new way of thinking about the terms in our subscription agreements. Dave Tollen has a knack for teaching these nuances in an easy to understand way. This guide comes highly recommended for all software executives.
