today a colleague at work, whose opinion I value, recommended the book Beautiful Code to me, as one of the best he had read in a long time. I did a quick search tonight and found lots of plaudits for the book, as well as an interesting dissent.
as soon as I digest Trustworthy Systems Through Quantitative Software Engineering, I’m going to pick up Beautiful Code and decide for myself. then, I think, Geekonomics and the second edition of The Art of Software Testing (which my colleagues in China are using in ebook form, in Chinese) will be next.
