This is an excellent book, highly recommended for anyone in the business of writing software. It contains a huge amount of distilled wisdom. I think its most important message is that coding in the small matters and coding well is all about sweating the details (and writing your tests, of course!).

I also recommend “The Practice of Programming” if you have not read it..
I have, but thank you!
Hi Dave ! I was planning on reading this. Thanks for the confirmation that it’s good.
Hey I was wondering, seeing as you have read so many books, if you might have time for a blog post on your top X fiction / non fiction books. It’d be great for for parents of young kids who only have time for 1 or 2 books a year. I’d love to know which ones of the hundreds you have read that you believe are unmissable.
I hope everything is going well for you.
Hey Barnaby, good to hear from you! Things are going well, enjoying my new job a great deal. A top X list for the year is a cool idea, I will do it!
