Book Reviews of The Best Software Writing I: Selected and Introduced by Joel Spolsky
Book Review: This is great.
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book. I have been a reader of Joel Spolskys website for many years now, and enjoy his irreverent style and interesting analysis, so any writing he reckons is good enough to put in a book is worth reading as far as I'm concerned. This book begins to treat people who are interested in software as normal people rather than A. Dummies B. Nerds or C. People with too much money who are willing to buy books that dont really tell you anything.The book itself is made up of articles (from 1 page to a 10) taken from websites, and have everything from cartoon foxes to stick men with fangs. The articles are all inspiring, entertaining or interesting or all three. This book is well worth the purchas price.
I'm looking forward to II
