Two "how software is done" books,
as opposed to "how to manage software":
- The "Gang of 4" book on patterns.
- I'd also put Martin Fowler's book on Refactoring into this class.
I doubt that the XP (eXtreme Programming) books will become classics, even though I enjoy them. Received on Fri Jul 30 2004 - 03:44:24 CEST
