Developing Storm

Friday, June 18, 2004
One of my nephews graduated with a degree in Software Engineering this Spring. I've been thinking of passing down some avuncular wisdom on the profession in the form on some books. Possible titles I've thought about are:

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master by Andrew Hunt, David Thomas

Agile Software Development by Alistair Cockburn

Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, John Brant, William Opdyke, Don Roberts

It's certainly very early in his career and I don't know what direction the winds will take him, so general books I think are better than targeted ones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
