Re: Completely OT: Reading list recommendations
From an old dudes perspective whose brain needs rebooting on a regular basis, two books that are a must for anybody coding are; - Bill Bryson’s "A short History of Nearly Everything" which puts the world into perspective. and - Douglas Adam's five book trilogy “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” where you get the answer to everything (42), but are you sure you know the question ? best, Bob…. > Hopefully I'll find 3 books > > - a techie one > - a non-techie non-fiction one > - fiction - preferably fairly light, easy reading ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: OT: Completely OT: Reading list recommendations.
Hi Richard I would add CODE COMPLETE by steve McConnell as well but rapid development from memory is a shorter read. Update I decided to look on amazon rather than my library and I was right 674 pages instead of over 950 .. so shorter is relative and I find it’s not on kindle. You can find it easily on the usual sites (I won’t link to it to spare blushes). I always like to have a pdf of any book I have in print ... much easier when going on holiday. Many’s the time I purchase a dead trees version from amazon and if it’s not prime I purchase the kindle edition as well to read while it arrives.
