  • Everything is on the blog but...

Code Complete: Second Edition By Steve McConnell
  • A necessary cross-reference book

    Some of the contents may be obvious to the experienced programmer, but I wish I had read the book when I started my professional life.

    Many topics cannot be applied to small projects, but surely anyone will find details of interest.

    Some of the contents may be obvious to the experienced programmer, but I wish I had read the book when I started my professional life.

    Many topics cannot be applied to small projects, but surely anyone will find details of interest.

    The most interesting thing is that the book acts a hub of references to many other texts in widely different areas of programming.

Programmers at Work: Interviews With 19 Programmers Who Shaped the Computer Industry (Tempus)
  • A worthy read

    This book was written twenty years ago, but it is surprising (and somewhat depressing) to note that many of the topics and issues of programming, like managing complexity or finding talent ago are still unsolved.

    This book was written twenty years ago, but it is surprising (and somewhat depressing) to note that many of the topics and issues of programming, like managing complexity or finding talent ago are still unsolved.

    Other issues, like hardware limits, are no longer a worry for programmers. It is shocking to know how the total memory of a computer was less than the size of a picture taken from my phone camera.

    While some predictions for the future have turned completely wrong, sometimes they are strangely right.

    I feel identified on some of the comments of all of the interviewed programmers, but I don't fully agree with any of them!

    A well-worth historical read, to know where we come from a guess where we are headed to.

More Joel on Software: Further Thoughts on Diverse and Occasionally Related Matters That Will Prove of Interest to Softwar… By Joel Spolsky
  • Not the best essays

    Being a sequel to the "Joel on Software" book, it doesn't contain the best essays from his website. Some of the included ones are interesting anyway (and more modern), but the general look is that many essays are there to fill the book up.

    Pleasant read, as Joel's writings usually are.

Almuric By Robert E. Howard
  • More fiction than science

    An adventure book with touches of science-fiction, although in more modern times they can be regarded more fiction than science.

    Easy to read and very entertaining, but the customs and doings of Esau Cairn are a bit too savage for me.

How to Win Friends & Influence People By Dale Carnegie
  • *** This comment contains spoilers! ***

    Empathy

    Although many counsels are extremely useful - like smiling before speaking, for instance - the main lesson to learn from this wonderful book is empathy.

The Best Software Writing I: Selected and Introduced by Joel Spolsky By Spolsky Joel
  • Varying topics

    A collection of stone-age essays (on Internet timing, anyway) about software. Style, quality, topic and extension are quite variable, but the overall impression is good.

    This book was supposed to be re-edited annually with the best writings of the year. It is a pity it didn't succeed.
