"Agile Estimating And Planning" and "User Stories Applied" by Mike Cohn are 
great books on Agile and how to apply it in pratice.

"Why Software Sucks" by David Platt is a fun read, that may help you to think 
differently about usability

Subject: [RhinoMocks] Re: Book recommendations

I loved this book:

Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#
http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Patterns-Practices-Robert-Martin/dp/0131857258

and since you are writing on "testing-related" ML, I'd suggest also
The Art of Unit Testing: with Examples in .NET
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Unit-Testing-Examples-NET/dp/1933988274/

A very kind person has just sent me £100 in Amazon book tokens for helping him 
with a problem - so now I want some book recommendations.

I don't mind which language the books are based on *if* they teach concepts, 
otherwise I would prefer C# books.

Books I already have
The Pragmatic Programmer
Concurrent Programming on Windows
Core J2EE Patterns
NHibernate in Action
Jon Skeet's C# in Depth
Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans (Didn't like Nilsson's book)
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture
What Every Programmer Should Know About Object-Oriented Design

I might buy Oren's "DSL in Boo" book to try to get an idea what kind of 
benefits I'd get from a DSL, but that leaves me with plenty more to spend.

I'd appreciate recommendations so that I can browse through the table of 
contents and see if I like the look of them.  I thought I'd ask in this group 
because anyone who writes unit tests and mocks obviously has the same desire to 
write good software that I do :-)

Thanks

Pete
