The Pragmatic Programmer




For those who don't know, there was a 20th Anniversary edition of The Pragmatic Programmer released a few years ago - It's still full of a lot of the same great advice, but they've brought the context and examples up to date.


Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised by how general and practical it was. I assume it was an over hyped shallow book but I was the one being shallow... Definitely worth a read.
