Re: Which non-Perl books made you a better (?:Perl )?Programmer?

in reply to Which non-Perl books made you a better (?:Perl )?Programmer?

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master is reasonably good. More around coding than about coding, Hackers and Painters is also good. Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide is a nice introduction to agile methods and why they work (in simple language that even non-programmers can get).

I will second the recommendation for The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master. I learned a great deal from this book, and it is well worth the time to read. TStanley -------- The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing -- Edmund Burke	[reply]

I will third the recommendation for this book: it actually sits beside my bed and I re-read it from time to time..	[reply]
