Coding Horror: Recommended Reading for Developers

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master
This book reminds me a lot of Programming Pearls, but it’s actually better, because it’s less focused on code. Instead of worrying about code, the authors boiled down all the practical approaches that they’ve found to work in the real world into this one book. Not all of these things are technically programming. For example, asking yourself “why am I doing this? Is this even worth doing at all?” isn’t thinking outside the box; it’s something you should incorporate into your daily routine to keep yourself– and your co-workers– sane. And that’s what makes Pragmatic Programmer such a great book.
If you’d like to know a little more about the book, I created a HTML version of the pullout reference card included inside, which provides a nice overview of the contents.
