    Currently: CLR via C# (2nd ed.) by Jeffrey Richter (excellent) A book on .NET internals the name of which eludes me right now, also by Jeffrey Richter (tough, but probably excellent) An Programmers Introduction to C# by Eric Gunenrson and Nick Wienholt (Good to get started if you come from a serious C++ or similar background, but not that exciting) "Become the perfect asshole in 12 gratifying, antisocial steps" - or did you not want me to include self development books? :rolleyes: *)whose? whiches?

        I'm reading through a few different ones these days, here is a short list:

        • Pro Ajax and the .NET 2.0 Platform
        • Essential Windows Workflow Foundation
        • Design Patterns In C#

        The "Essential Windows Workflow" is a must for anyone interested in that technology, I highly recommend it :-)

            I've been slowing reading through this one. Seems to be a pretty good read.

              I haven't been programming all that long, only really six months or so, and I have been reading Code Complete (2nd Ed.). It's a really useful book that introduces a lot of key concepts that I hadn't already been exposed to in my hardware background. I'd definitely recommend it if you are fairly new to programming.

I'm currently re-reading both Microsoft Windows Internals, 4th edition (Solomon and Russinovich) and Programming The Microsoft Windows Driver Model, 2nd edition (Oney). Can you tell I do lower level stuff than most people here? :) Judy

                  That just warms my heart. :rolleyes: You're right it is a great read. Especially for newer programmers, but really for anyone wanting to make, or currently making, a career of it.

                      I am reading for fun Code by Petzold. For bedtime reading I am reading Fowlers Refactoring. For morning and bathroom reading I am reading the pragmatic programmer. And for programming I am randomly flipping through the free copy of Code 0; Oh and a new MSDN and Microsoft Architectural Journal has come out and last months scientific american on Black holes and quantum theory. For geography thesis I am reading about Spatial Ontologies related to CS Ontologies. Some lite fun reading!!!

                                  Plenty of C# above. I've browsed through DotNetZero pdf book by Charles Petzold. I've tended to prefer working with C++ though, but i'm a closet convert to the flow of C#.

                                    No C++. That's for dinosaurs. :) (Ducks and runs for cover) However, I do have the earlier editions of the Scott Meyers books. They or comparable should be mandatory for C++ devs. I'm in .NET land at the moment, so I'm reading Pro WF.

                                        I have done that in a past job as well. I find that unless you get some experience with some of the "make it look pretty" coding, potential employers tend to gloss over the experience you have. Phil

                                          No C++. That's for dinosaurs. :) (Ducks and runs for cover) However, I do have the earlier editions of the Scott Meyers books. They or comparable should be mandatory for C++ devs. I'm in .NET land at the moment, so I'm reading Pro WF.

                                          Fine :D But I'm also doing .NET stuff with C# Outlook Add-in's for our Sales (in Riverblade land) with wonderful threading and databasing and NUnit too, so there!!
