I got an Amazon delivery today of some new books to add to my pile I’m working my way through. I am currently reading:

Extreme Programming Explained – I’m project managing a group of 2nd year computer scientists and am using some of the principles from XP in my approach. Mostly just the iterative style of development. Pivitol Tracker is a great help with this – a really simple, light weight agile management tool.

Waltzing with Bears – This came today and is all about risk management, it’s a recommended book for a risk management sub-module I’m taking.

Domain Driven Design – This also came today. I bought it after watching a Windy City Rails video about UI Design where it was highly recommended.

The Web Startup Success Guide – Had this for a little while now but I haven’t read too much of it yet. Hoping it will inspire me to make $$$$$$$ via the internet, we shall see!

I also feel I should try and re-read The Mythical Man Month as it is a collection of classic software engineering essays but I found pretty dry the first time round.

Have you read Paul Graham’s Hackers And Painters? I’d recommend that, for a geeky read. :)
