My Favourite Books
People much involve me for a list of my favored books. So here it is.
I hold the proper to update this list from time to time.
I be given to take a lot of stuff. The fact that I commend a book hither does not think that I agree with everything in it.
Coding
I imagine it’s out of print, but I truly cared Publishing Substantial Code. It’s very oriented toward C/C++, indeed if you’re more often than not in C#/Java/Ruby/Python/Perl/VB, it may not be deserving your time. Even so, it’s an striking book.
And of course Code Concluded is a classical.
Software Management
Dynamics of Software Development is one of my favorites.
Business
I’m a magnanimous fan of Built to Last and its sequel, Well to Dandy. The sequel is prosperous to take and a bit more relevant to littler companies.
The Silicon Valley Way is a cracking book, and it’s a very ocular book with nice poor chapters. Soft to simply blame up and browse..
If you catch the opportunity, move learn Guy Kawasaki talk. He’s much better in person than he is on paper. But if that doesn’t act out, Rules for Revolutionaries is a well read.
Commercialising
If you take simply one book on commercialising, it should be Spaning the Chasm.
But in reality you should read at least a dozen books on commercializing.
Hither’s your second one: Differentiate or Die
At present move feel ten more.
Sales
I think Dealing the Wheel is an striking book. At for the first time you’ll be charmed to cease because it’s kind of cheesy. Don’t. Stop it all the way to the end.
Useless but Pleasurable Fluff
I in truth like the “Prey” series of novels by John Sandford. Start at the beginning with Rules of Prey
WPF
I have all of the bing WPF books:
- The one by Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths
- The one by Adam Nathan
- The one by Charles Petzold
- The other one by Charles Petzold, centered on WPF 3D
These are all well, each in a unlike way. If you’re moving to do anything good with WPF, it seems to me that you should have them all.
Other Stuff
The Seven Habits of Highly Efficient People is nonetheless deserving reading. None of Covey’s other books are nearly as well.
Any good pool player has a copy of Byrne’s Fresh Received Book of Pool and Billiards.
My best-loved literary novel is The Count of Monte Cristo. The unabridged version is deserving the redundant trouble.
For dog lovers, Marley & Me is marvellous.
