When was the last time you heard about a software schedule being moved forward? Shreedhar has just announced that the GlassFish v2 UR1 release will now be available in mid-December. See his Announcement for details. And, if you have never read The Mythical Man Month it should be in every serious developer's reading list... Even it it was published 32 years ago! What other books you think should be in a must-read list? |
Glassfish are very cool

Other than the book you recommended, my must read list for computer geeks includes:
* Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams
* The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master
* Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
* Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code
* Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide
* Code Complete (Second Edition)
* Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science
Just my two euro cents

Thanks, Lars! I wonder if I should create a small lending library in my site... - eduard/o

One more in my list is Elements of Style, by Strunk and White. Not strictly programming but indispensable advice for any writer. - eduard/o

Great choice. Since the list now includes non-computer books I would also recommend "What Smart Students Know".
It is by far the best book on accelerated learning I have come across and if you are going to read a heap of books then one might as well do it as effectively as possible.
