Holub on Patterns by Holub
It’s OK, not great (My review at Amazon.com — 3/5 stars) I looked at one other book before purchasing this one, Refactoring to Patterns, but I picked this one because this one had 5/5 average review. I should have picked the other one, though. 🙁 This book starts out great, the first 2 chapters (out…

Effective Java by Bloch
Let me ask you a simple question? Have you programmed in Java for more than a year or two? If no, than this book might not be for you. On the other hand, if you’ve been programming in Java, why haven’t you read this book? Seriously. Why haven’t you? How about you, Stas. I know.…

Dynamics of Software Development by McCarthy
A great book for project managers! Unfortunately, I’m not there yet. 🙁 A great list of good practices and softaware development tips. What I also liked, besides the tips, was the author’s style of writing. It’s great. Simple sentences, a lot of energy. I plan to re-read this book in a year or two.

The Psychology of Computer Programming by Weinberg
A classic book. I’m going to have to re-read it, and maybe provide a more thorough review then. 🙁

Applying Uml and Patterns by Larman
One of my favorite books. It is just filled with excellent information. Larman is an excellent teacher. You’ll learn about good design, development processes, UML, and more. I have to re-ead this title soon (the second edition came out recently), as I read this book a long time ago….
