Visual and Code

Me and Samme kinda started like this sort of book club. And in this book club, we don’t read the same book at the same time. We kind of just share them. So we finally got aroud (me) and bought a couple of books. Naturally we bought one book from the recommendation list of Jeff Atwood (www.codinghorror.com), namly .. og wait, it’s not on the reading list, but mentioned in one of his posts.. “Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering” by Robert L. Glass. I’ve only started very mildly on it, but it seams really great, and will help me settle some arguments with non CS people.

The other one I saw on a post on Presentation Zen, anpther great blog. This one is called “The Adventures of Johnny Bunko“. A fast read peace of ok drawn manga, but a great little book! REally liked it, and so did Samme. The 6 tips that johnny recieves in the book about ‘careering’ is not the american business type of tips, but rather genereal and abstract. I have this idea, that I’m going to pick each one of those, and in a zen-quizy way make a post about software development based for each one. Let’s see how that turns out in the next post, and the tip “There is no plan”. Facinating, is it not?! ;)

Johnny Bunko can be bought for us in Sweden from Bokus, and thats were I got ours from. The price is in pair with amazon or whatever.
