Reading List - 2005/09/17
I always seem to have a huge pile of books to read and an inability to
actually read them in any order. This months pile includes:
Behind
Closed Doors.
I'm a big fan of the Pragmatic Programmers books and this
one is no different. It covers the things that we're thankful good managers
already know and gives us something to throw at^Wto the bad ones. I'm most
of the way through it and it's a 7/10.
My
Job Went to India.
Another PragProg book, this one's interesting both because of the topic (I
have my own Pragmatic Improvement plan so I'm already quite in to this) and
because Chad Fowlers blog
is a great read. The IT market is changing and this book seems to be one of
the few out that helps you prepare for the "New World Order."
The Art of
Project Management.
An O'Reilly book that had me hooked on a brief flick through, it seems to
cover a lot of valuable experience from the IT industry and how to avoid
making a lot of the comment mistakes in projects.
Using Moodle.
This is both the odd one of the bunch and the weakest. It's a guide to
using moodle but it's very focused on basic users. It walks you through
using the different parts of the interface and doesn't seem to really bring
you anything that the docs don't. Just with better editing. I'm half way
through and I'll put a review up when I've finished but for now have a
careful look before you buy.
Now the real question is how many other books will I read in between finishing these?
