DaveHoover īs site. Been reading a lot since I can remember, but software-related books starting in 2000 or so.
Listed here are all books I read, which are mostly related to the craft of developing software.
I have a blog [here], but it's pretty much dead. However, I'm unable to remove the link to it - the wiki engine says I can't because I'm "...not allowed to post external links"!!! What's up with that?
