Just bought Code Complete 2 - Code Complete, Second Edition!! Reading it now.

Book List

Okay, here is my list of books that every programmer should read at some point or the other. This is only based on the books I have already read. There are lots of good books on my reading list, which arent here. Once I'm done reading them, I'll decide whether to put them here. That said, here is the list (in no particular order) -

• Rapid Development


• Peopleware


• Code Complete


• Writing Sold Code


• The Pragmatic Programmer


• The Mythical Man Month


• Refactoring


• Design Patterns

Well, thats the list for now. Expect stuff to be added from time to time.

The above image is from the first page of Steve McConnell's book "Software Project Survival Guide". This is such a stunning image. For anyone who has worked in software, will immediately understand what it means, and yet the point comes through so beautifully and simply. "If only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't." Amazing. Steve, you are a genius, and I'm your biggest fan. 

Amazon has a great offer going right now. If you buy the Sony Ericsson T610 Phone, with a T-Mobile subscription, THEY WILL PAY YOU $150 !!
