PAD among top books - No Fluff Just Stuff

PAD among top books

Posted by: Venkat Subramaniam on June 24, 2008

This morning I got an email

"I thought you might get a kick to see that your (and Andy’s) book was named one of the Top 100 Software Engineering books of all time (#49).  They determined it based on variables, such as Amazon rank and number of Jolt awards, etc.
 
The article is up on dotnetkicks or the direct link is http://www.noop.nl/2008/06/top-100-best-software-engineering-books-ever.html.
 
Congratulations,
Zach"


Thanks Zach. It is not only nice to see PAD appear in the list (among other excellent Pragmatic Bookshelf books), but nice to see a list of good books in one place for those interested in learning and keeping up.
Speaking of which, I can't wait to be at AgileIT X. There will be some great speakers there and several exciting topics. I am looking forward to give five talks and workshop, but also listening and discussing with others who will be there. Can't wait for Thursday.
