97 Things Every Programmer Should Know: Collective Wisdom from the Experts by

3.0

I tried to like this book. And maybe it could be really good for a newer person, but I've known all these things for a really long time. Most of them get burned into you after your third huge project.

Even so, I would really recommend this book to people starting out -- not that they'll understand at all why they need to know any of these things, but that when they have forgotten them, been bitten by them, they can recognise that these things are known, they aren't the first person to encounter them, and that there is probably a body of knowledge they can explore.
