Joel on Software

2002/03/11

My publisher sent me a couple of new books today which might be of some interest to this crowd:

Herding Cats: A Primer for Programmers who Lead Programmers
J. Hank Rainwater

The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World
Christopher Duncan

I haven't read them yet. Let me know what you think -- do they deserve a place in the hall of fame?

College students: my company has paid summer internships in New York City, including free housing, free lunch, and the chance to develop software people will really use, with great mentors on interesting projects. Don't miss this chance of a lifetime. We only have a few spaces and they always go fast, so apply today.

Want to know more?

You’re reading Joel on Software, stuffed with years and years of completely raving mad articles about software development, managing software teams, designing user interfaces, running successful software companies, and rubber duckies.

About the author.

I’m Joel Spolsky, founder of Fog Creek Software, a New York company that proves that you can treat programmers well and still be highly profitable. Programmers get private offices, free lunch, and work 40 hours a week. Customers only pay for software if they’re delighted. We make FogBugz, an enlightened project management system designed to help great teams develop brilliant software, and Fog Creek Copilot, which makes remote desktop access easy.
