Happy Loony: good books.

[azurelunatic]

In the pursuit of my software ends, by the recommendation of both AL1I and Mr. Demland, I'm reading Code Complete. I'll have to see what CRon thinks of it. It'll also count for one of my 50bookchallenge books, which is a good incentive to finish the thing. Go, me.

Any programming book with radioactive software metaphors stands a better chance than average of being good.

Um... hm. Demland's got a list somewhere, but I'm not sure what else FatherSir recommends.

[azurelunatic]

Solid Code, that is.

What are the rules to play? **intrigued**
And yes, my ex swore by _Code Complete_ and the other works by that author as well.
I have skimmed with the intent of reading in actuality later, but ... well, they were his books. ... I will have to budget copies for myself in SOMEDAY (growls at checkbook).

Rules? 2003. 50 books. Reading them.
