Office 2010 Standard blog what-are-the-best-develo

Following a lengthy and unintended absence, Gretchen and I are obtaining back again into posting once more. I thought I would start off slow though and ask the audience a question. You know, I don;t want to shock my system too much. A recent person commented and asked a great question about what someone interviewing for a development (SDE/SDET) position should read prior to the interview. Several hiring managers that I have worked with in the past told me they recommend the following books: Writing Solid Code: Microsoft's Techniques for Developing Bug-Free C Programs -- Steve Maguire Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction -- Steve C McConnell So I have two questions: To all you Microsoft people reading this blog; do you still recommend these books as resources? If not, what are you recommending today that are essentials for all developers to read? Okay non-Microsofties it is your turn. What are you reading these days? What do you use as your coding bible? Love to hear from you quickly,Office 2010 Standard! zoë
