      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.

          Looking at what everyone else is reading, you can really get a good idea of what part of the realm that is "Windows Programming" everyone is working in. 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

                                          I'll be getting into "Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform" by Andrew Troelsen this weekend.

                                          I bought that same book last year and I have read most of it. It is a very good book. Actually I love it. You shouldn't be disappointed at all, especially if you get the hard cover.
