The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy |
Wackiest stuff Ive read. Fourth part onwards, the unpredictability became predictable for me and so I kind-of lost interest. But highly recommended. |

The Mythical Man-Month |
The Mythical Man Month : I read this because it was recommended to me by a senior colleague at my workplace. The basic principles are good. It does sound a bit out of date though, simply because it was written long ago.
Quoting from another reviewers comments : Read this as one of your primers to software engineering, and then follow up your reading with other texts. This book is quoted so often in other books and technical journals that it deserves an initial reading. |
