Cocoa(R) Programming for Mac(R) OS X (3rd Edition)

109 reviews
Aaron Hillegass

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008

Great Reference
This book is worth its weight in gold. Apple's online documentation is not bad, but often leaves a little to be desired for details or options other than a standard, mundane sort of example. The code examples are _extremely_ useful. In 2 hours with this book I was able to finish a project at work that I had been trying to figure out for weeks. Google hadn't turned up what I needed. Apple's ...

Writing Effective Use Cases (The Agile Software Development Series)

45 reviews
Alistair Cockburn

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2000

Good Investment
Alistair Cockburn has a gift for writing. His explanations are very easy to follow and the writing style makes it seem like you are reading novel. I tried a number of books on use cases and this is by far the best. It contains a number of different styles. I used this book as a basis for developing standards for the company I work for. I haven't seen any other book on Use Cases that is as ...

Advanced Windows Debugging (The Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series)

12 reviews
Mario Hewardt, Daniel Pravat

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2007

Must have for any serious Windows programmer
Chapters on debugging heap/stack corruptions are simply invaluable. Worth reading even if you think you know everything about those issues, this book will easily prove you wrong.

Java Concurrency in Practice

45 reviews
Brian Goetz, Tim Peierls, ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2006

Authoritative on the subject
This is "the" authoritative book on java concurrency. However, apart from some java specific items, the book is an excellent source on parallelism in general. Do not even try to implement parallelism without "reading and understanding" this book. Highly recommended !!!

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master

127 reviews
Andrew Hunt, David Thomas

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999

A Fork in the Road of my Career
Since I was young I wanted to be a programmer. I got my first development job only a few years ago, and have spent much of my free time reading blogs and the like. The problem with that was there were too many conflicting schools of thought on too many different methodologies and practices. I found this book only a few months ago, and poured through its pages. After finishing it, my ...

Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley ...

132 reviews
Scott Meyers

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2005

Must have for any C++ Programmer
This is a great book which covers a lot of useful topics for every C++ professional. I have been programming in C++ for a while so some of the topics Scott Mayers discussed were already familiar but I still picked up a lot from this book. From a beginner to intermediate programmer, this is a must have. Advanced programmers probably have this book already (or its previous editions). Otherwise, ...

Writing usable requirements in Agile spaces. Yet another well crafted message suggesting how to modify the method of eliciting requirements into something that makes sense from the perspective of the customer. Use the customer's language! Mike makes it simple, uses simple examples, and offers a clear path of application should one choose to traverse. The use of user stories moves the focus of ...

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)

138 reviews
Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999

Must have in any developers collection
I was referred to this book from a colleague after a quick discussion on "Replace temp with Query" in our projects code base. I thought I knew it all as a software developer, but reading this book, I soon came to realize that as a software developer I was leaving a legacy of code that was not at the standard it should be. This book opened my eyes to some really simple concepts, for example, ...

Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008

“If you want to understand the future before it happens, you’ll love this book.

Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide (The Agile Software Development Series)

46 reviews
Craig Larman

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003

Excellent survey of iterative and incremental development (IID) methodologies
This work by Larman shares some commonalities with Balancing Agility and Discipline, a work by Boehm and Turner (see my review for that book) in which a wide range of methodologies are compared side-by-side to determine the best fit for teams. However, rather than serving as a guide to determine best fit from a wide assortment of methodologies, Larman's work is limited to a discussion of Scrum, ...

Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions (The Addison-Wesley ...

31 reviews
Gregor Hohpe, Bobby Woolf

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003

Excellent book for Software Architect and Software Engineer
Many books have been written about SOA, but most of them are just about the theory of SOA. It's important for Software Architects and Software Engineers to understand the theory, but just knowing the theory is not enough to develop system utilizing SOA principles. This book fits nicely to bridge the gap between theory and practice. It contains not only the theory behind the patterns that can ...

Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries (Microsoft .NET ...

29 reviews
Krzysztof Cwalina, Brad Abrams

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2005

Passionate About Quality?
I don't personally think that all developers will find this book useful. In fact, I have a feeling that some may find it highly useless and disruptive as it is abstract in a sense (one must apply the lessons to each library and scenario independently, taking into consideration many different aspects of usability and readability) and it does require some "retraining" of bad practices which have ...

Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software

43 reviews
Eric Evans

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003

Excellent book
If your process for writing an application is to start with the database, or to start designing UI, you should read this book. There is nothing new in this book -- but you really should read it. This book details the way many architects and analysts have been creating their applications for years, and for good reason. They start by creating domain classes that help represent data in a way ...

Software Security: Building Security In (Addison-Wesley Software Security Series)

19 reviews
Gary McGraw

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2006

Required residing for all software developers
The root cause of many security vulnerabilities is poorly written software. Often, software applications are written without security in mind. The logical, yet elusive, solution is to ensure that software developers are trained in writing secure code. Software Security: Building Security In is a valiant attempt to show software developers how to do just that. The book is the latest step in ...

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (The Addison-Wesley Signature Series)

54 reviews
Martin Fowler

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002

Must have reference for all developers
Even if you don't do "Enterprise Application" development, this book is a must have in your library. If you have been developing for more than a couple of years and you haven't seen 1/2 of the patterns in this book, then you are probably doing something wrong and this book could greatly help you. Even if you do know 1/2 or more of the patterns in this book it is a great reference to the ...

The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition (3rd Edition)

275 reviews
Bjarne Stroustrup

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2000

Written By God Himself
The C++ Programming Language is by far the best book I own. I love C++ and use it everyday. I've written video games using C++, written my own MP3 player, my own HTTP server, my own SSL implementation for Verifone terminals, hundreds of components... Countless amounts of software on Mac OS, Windows, FreeBSD/Linux, and embedded systems. Every time I had a problem and needed help this book was ...

The Rails Way (Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series)

20 reviews
Obie Fernandez

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2007

Great reference
I just picked this up yesterday, and from what I've read already it's a really great general reference for the Rails framework. So far it's been good for understanding nested routes, some of the intricacies of REST, etc.
