More Joel on Software
This book is the follow up to the original ‘Joel on Software’, like the original it contains an set of essays harvested from Joel’s blog. The essays range in topics from managing people, advice for potential programmers, discussion on design, managing large projects, programming, starting and running a software business and releasing and revising software.
I particularly liked ‘A field guide to developers’, ‘The perils of Java schools’, ‘Evidence based scheduling’, ‘Making wrong code look wrong’ and ‘Set your priorities’. You could find these essays on Joel’s blog but I find ‘best of’ collections like this book make it easier to find the best posts with minimal effort but at the minor cost of buying the book.
