Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK

New And Used From £28.46

Review: After being thoroughly disappointed with Erica Sadun's contribution to the iPhone development book scene I stumbled on this gem. The writing style is fantastic, and the way it is put together works very well for teaching - at each stage you learn things and they s....

Head First Design Patterns

New And Used From £15.99

Review: I'm all for new approaches in learning but I find that this book while seeking to de-mystify various OO design concepts actually introduces more confusion. One of the worst offending chapters is the one on the factory design pattern. I find myself wanting to scream....

The Mythical Man Month and Other Essays on Software Engineering

New And Used From £12.99

Agile Estimating and Planning (Robert C. Martin)

New And Used From £13.69

Review: One only has to read all the comments from the leaders of agile thinking to know that this is an excellent book. It's definitely in my top 10, probably in my top 5 list of essential 'agile' reading. This book takes the agilist into areas often neglected; those top....

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (The Addison-Wesley signature series)

New And Used From £25.79

Review: Like it or not, PoEAA has become one of those must-read books. It's clear and to the point, and I'm honestly struggling to say anything bad about it. The only issue is that it's so enterprise-heavy that if you haven't worked much with Enterprise apps, you'll end up....

Review: I have nearly finished this book and so far it seems clear and well thought out, with no indications of being rushed to print like its predecessor. I am glad that I bought it and recommend it. If you are a total .net novice, this is not suitable as a first book.....
