There are the books you read, and then there are the books that change your life. We can all look back on the books that have shaped our perspective on politics, religion, money, and love. Some will even become a source of inspiration for the rest of your life. From a seemingly infinite list of books of anecdotal or literal merit, we have narrowed down the top 100 books that have shaped the lives of individual men while also helping define broader cultural ideas of what it means to be a man.

Haskell is a deep language, and we think that learning it is a hugely rewarding experience. We will focus on three elements as we explain why we think it worthwhile. The first is novelty: we invite you to think about programming from a different and valuable perspective. The second is power: we'll show you how to create software that is short, fast, and safe. Lastly, we offer you a lot of fun: the pleasure of applying beautiful programming techniques to solve real problems

My slant is that the phenomenon of programmers not reading books could in some cases be a symptom of a deeper shortcoming: the illusion that busyness is equivalent to worthwhile accomplishment. This mentality is exemplified by mottos like "just do it [write code]" and "you're paid to do your job, not think". Its primary activity is scouring the Internet for example code to copy

When I recently did a presentation at pfCongrez , as a thank you I got the book Getting Real by the people of 37Signals. I had until then not heard of the book yet, but it's an excellent view on software development.

One of the things that helped me know what I know was my passion for books and my curiosity to learn new things. I think that every programmer that cares about the future should read, at least, one technical book every year. It is part of our jobs to keep informed about new technologies and to learn as many subjects as we need to carry on our projects.

Do you remember Book It!, the reading incentive program by Pizza Hut that is still available to elementary school teachers? Just like the Scholastic Book Club before it, both provide children with an exciting avenue that fosters reading. It meant gold stars, the admiration of your peers, and quiet nights under the covers accompanied only by a flashlight and the intoxicating smell of an old library book. Of course, it also meant free pizza.

I’ve never read a programming book. I realized this when I got sent a promo copy of the Flex 2 with Actionscript 3 book from Friends of ED. [Side note: start blogging and you get sent free shit.] I was flipping through the book and I realized, wow, I’ve never read one of these before. So it got me thinking about why that is. Clearly people learn programming stuff through books, there’s got to be a market or else they wouldn’t make the books. Am I the norm or the exception?

If programmers don't learn from books today, how do they learn to program? They do it the old-fashioned way: by rolling up their sleeves and writing code -- while harnessing the collective wisdom of the internet in a second window. The internet has rendered programming books obsolete. It's faster, more efficient, and just plain smarter to get your programming information online. I believe Doug McCune's experience, which he aptly describes as Why I Don't Read Books, is fairly typical.

The book does a great job balancing quick explanations of concepts, code examples, and insights into the implementation of Groovy. Even in chapters on topics I'm familiar with, I found myself impressed with everything Venkat found that I hadn't seen before. So the book is great, now let's talk about edge cases...

Software development projects are notoriously late. We still have difficulty living up to promised releases. Many methodologies, techniques, processes and practices have been developed over the years, yet a view that software development is still an immature field is widely held, and strongly so. Emergent Design: The Evolutionary Nature of Professional Software Development tackles this issue, and this interview with the author, Scott Bain, discusses the core concepts.

Designing the Obvious is a book I ran into at Books a Million a few months ago. Usually when I head out to bookstores I grab a handful of books and end up scanning over them for tips, maybe reading a few relevant chapters, then putting it back. Very rarely do I end up reading through the entire book at one sitting at the bookstore. That’s just what happened with Designing the Obvious

In short this book deliver its promise of learning Django in short 24 hours. However I suggest you donate this copy away when you are done and comfortably looking at the online reference -- because this seems to be the book intention; get you started and then move you to the real world docs.

Some time ago, Packt Publishing sent me a copy of Hacking Vim: A Cookbook to get the Most out of the Latest Vim Editor by Kim Shulz to review. I read through it pretty quickly and I must say I thought it was a good book for the most part. There is a lot of information in this book. It wastes no time or space describing the many ways to make your Vim experience even more efficient than it already is.
