I'd like to know if anyone had a good book recommendation for writing reliable software, thinking more logically, reducing errors, etc? I'm looking for something that is not language specific--more of a general good practices philosophy/methodology book. One of my complaints with college is they are tending to teach less of the general principles that are important in all languages and instead focus on a specific vendor. > > Does anyone know of such a book? Maybe something written by some of the the programming Gurus in the 70's to 80's that is still relevant today? > > Thanks, > Fregas > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
