It's a very thought provoking read and I'm curious to see what others think (I know Brendan picked up a copy). Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Training is of limited benefit when it comes to solving the really big problems in software engineering.“
Training, of course, plays an important role but only communicates syntax, lexical structure of a language, and how to solve specific problems; the “big problems“ aren't addressed through training but are more a matter of thinking.
We're planning a Coding Slave BOF for Sunday night at TechEd; I think Rory is the point man on this (based on a tangle of emails and blog comments, this link is the main one). If you want details, just let me know and I'll see about disseminating them once they're finalized!
Happy .Netting!
