Book of the Day
Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C# (Robert C. Martin Series): Robert C. Martin, Micah Martin: Books
I’m rereading the book of the day now. I read the original version first, and am now comparing the two. I just wanted to say that it’s possibly the best programming book ever written, and certainly the best that I’ve ever read. Do you have any suggestions for others like it? I highly recommend that book to anyone reading this!
