So far I've been preparing Marvin Minsky's lectures on Society of Mind as well as the book, which seem like pretty cool and easy reading to go through. Andy Clark's Associative Engines as well.
Code Complete or the GoF design patterns book are programming wisdom: how to write good code, but I would consider it to mainly address the wisdom in programming itself.
On the other hand, books that have to do with software development wisdom are classics like: - The Mythical Man-Month - Joel on Software blog/series - The Soul of A New Machine which all talk about macro/meta lessons learned while developing software or working on a large software project.
What are other software development tomes of wisdom you guys like? I'm looking for some casual reading in the park as the days get warmer...
So far I've only found an iPhone STOMP client here https://github.com/juretta/objc-stomp that I could hook up to something like Orbited, and I would like to get all my options on the table if anyone could help me out.
There's always the option to pick damn near any evented server and fill in the dots client side with something like http://code.google.com/p/cocoaasyncsocket/ , but more un-wheel-reinventing suggestions would be preferable! Thanks
A quick Amazon search turns up a lots of stuff, but I'm not sure which books are for us - in particular, even if the book is very good I am not sure if it is targeted towards say enterprise vs. an small, everyone-wears-multiple-hats agile team.
With software development you've got "must reads" like Code Complete that basically are relevant to any programmer regardless of environment, so I wonder if there's analogous tomes for product?
