Books, Lovely Geek Books...
Today I finally picked up some books I'd stored away for a while. It's sooooo nice to get them back again :)
Now I just need to find the time to read them all again (and again, and again).
And, in case you hadn't guessed, this was mostly the Object Oriented box (I have a few more boxes)...
- Object Oriented Software Construction, Bertrand Meyer
- Analysis Patterns, Martin Fowler
- Object Oriented Analysis and Design, Booch
- Refactoring, Marting Fowler
- Designing Object Oriented Software, Wirfs-Brock et al
- Software Survival Guide, Steve McConell
- Extreme Programming Explained, Wake
- Lucene in Action
- Design Patterns, Gamma et al
- Working Effectively with Legacy Code
- Practical Issues in Database Management
- Data Access Patterns
- Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, Fowler
- Test Driven Development, Beck
- Domain Driven Design, Evans
- Statisticts - an introduction using R, Crawley

Excellent collection. I got 3 in common. How far would you go in recommending "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design"? Is it by any way language oriented (samples or snippets)? Cheers

It's been a while since I read that one, to be honest. Most of the book is text + diagrams, but any code are in C++. They seem quite readable and understandable, for this c# programmer at least :)

Nice. I have five of these. What do you reckon to the "..Legacy Code" book? This has been top of my list of recommended items on Amazon for some time!

Nice list indeed. I’m also interested in the OO Analysis & design book, but I wonder if it brings anything new to the table if you already have some experience regarding OO design, and if you’ve read Design Patterns, Design Patterns Explained, etc …
That’s a bit the difficulty in buying / selecting books: how much ‘aha erlebnis’ factor will the book bring to you.
