Having seen what Justice is upto, I thought I would take the time to answer a question that I get asked all the time “What’s books do you recommend I should read”?

While the scope of the books I could recommend is quite large, I am going to narrow my focus to the realm of the developer. Some of these books are ones that I wish I had read while I was still in school (of course, they might not have been out then!!). The list is ordered in the way “I feel” they should be read. More specifically, I have focused on books that I think can equip people (alongside real world experience) to “Build A Solid Core”

Here it is:

• Introduction to the Theory of Computation
• Introduction To Algorithms
• Code Complete
• The Pragmatic Programmer
• Head First Object-Oriented Analysis & Design
• Refactoring
• Applying UML and Patterns
• Head First Design Patterns
• Design Patterns
• CLR Via C#
• Test-Driven Development : By Example
• Programming .Net Components
• Working Effectively With Legacy Code
• Domain Driven Design
• Patterns Of Enterprise Application Architecture
• Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices
• Core J2EE Patterns

You’ll notice that I have not even touched on specialized topics such as web/windows development,object relational mapping, or even sql. We’ll save that list for another day. I have also published this as a listmania list to Amazon.

Happy Reading.
