A great carreer book for software developers. It's written by a guy who knows what he is talking about. He worked a year and a half in India, Hungary,... offshoring software development for his company.
Just coding isn't enough anymore, you know ;-)

Some useful advice.

I bought this book back in 2011 via Amazon after hearing this from an RoR developer's webinar. This is probably the best self-help book I've ever read. It offers practical advice for professionals who want to stay competitive in the IT industry.

If you do not work in the IT industry as a developer, business analyst, or QA analyst, this book is NOT for you.

I consider this on par with the Pragmatic Programmer book. It's more high-level. It's incredibly relevant full of great advice.

The title makes it embarrassing to display this book openly on my bookshelf, or to admit that I have read this. (The book has since been renamed aptly to the Passionate Programmer, but I bought this one because I heard it was the same, and this edition is cheaper.) Wonderful insights and practical advice on staying marketable as a programmer.

A good book to read when you get into a work rut and start feeling sorry for yourself. This is a good kick in the but with specific things you can do to quit moping and start kicking ass.

I borrowed this from the Thomson library. It contains a lot of good advice. The biggest idea I got out of it was that it would do me a lot of good to learn more about open source. I will try.

Incredible. I'd say it's highly philosophical career planning guide for IT folks:)

Author reflects on various aspects of his experiences - if you truly belong to the world of IT, you will not regret a moment spent reading. It already has a list of quite practical action items - you could skim through them to get the maximum value.

In a nutshell, I think all software developers who aren't at the end of their careers should read this. It had an impact on my attitude towards professional development and I'd strongly recommend that others heed the advice in this book to ensure that they remain competitive, marketable, and engaged in their careers.

Note - the second edition of this book has been re-titled The Passionate Programmer Creating a Remarkable Career in Software Development.

i like the front cover ... open your eyes about coding, be a generalist ;)

This is one of the 5 books that changed the direction and shape of my career.
