I'd also recommend "The Pragmatic Programmer" http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ppbook/index.shtml It's difficult to summarize, but I think every programmer should read it at least once. It is mostly about the mechanics of programming also. -- Shae Erisson - this space for rent - #haskell on irc.freenode.net "Notwithstanding fervent argument that patent protection is essential for the growth of the software industry, commentators have noted that `this industry is growing by leaps and bounds without it.'" -- US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, March 3, 1981. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
