Product Description
Joel, Apress, Blogs, and Blooks
I was learning the hard way about how to be a publisher and probably spending way too much time looking at web sites and programming than I should have in response to that. Anyway, one day I came across this web site called Joel on Software, which was run by a guy with strong opinions and an unusual, clever writing style, along with a willingness to take on the conventional wisdom.

This is cut and paste from the Joel on Software Blog.
I just finished reading “Smart and Gets Things Done” by the same author and about a quarter of that book is in here.
What a waste of money! If you think this guy has good ideas, save your money and read the blog instead.
I felt ripped off buying this book after just reading “Smart and Gets Thinks Done” as it’s a cut and paste from that book into this one.

in short… Joel on Software and More Joel on Software are essential for every software developer. When I interview a software developer from now on I will ask if he or she read these books and if not … you know!

I loved the 2nd book in the serious: “Joel On Software” and wonder what can he possible say this time. Apparently, Spolsky did a good job. I read it cover to cover and couldn’t stop laughing when reading ‘Camels and Rubber Duckies’. Just for this I gave it 4 starts.
Having said that (or writing that); he did paraphrase from his previous book. But the bottom line is this: if you are a programmer/software-entrepreneur or a student in the computer-science world, take this book and read it. It has some great tips. I would surly use his interview questions the next time I need to hire someone…

Good book, but not as great as the first. But still it has a ton of good information, and its written very well.

More Joel on Software continues where the first left off – great advice on software development from an in the trenches practioner. You wont agree with all of it, but you’ll spend a lot of time thinking, and that’s the first step.
