Professional Software Development by McConnell


Professional Software Development: Shorter Schedules, Higher Quality Products, More Successful Projects, Enhanced Careers
by Steve McConnell
ISBN 0321193679
Date Read 5/2005

My Rating

Steve McConnell is one of my favorite writers. He writes in an interesting and easy to follow way. There is only a few (that I know of) in the software industry that do it as good as him. This book is a general overview of the whole software industry. It's general, but contains some good advice. The chapter on Construx's professional ladder is very good (you can find it on the web, though). Overall, a good book. Not a required reading, but you'll enjoy it.
