I met a fellow IT worker on the train ride home yesterday. He is a project manager, based in Miami. We chatted for a bit, talking about the technical and personnel challenges of the industry. He was unfamiliar with "The Mythical Man-Month" and "Peopleware" so we exchanged cards and I agreed to send him a list of my favorite books.
The list will include Fred Brooks and Demarco and Lister. I will also include Weinberg's "Psychology of Computer Programming" and possibly Knuth's "Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About".
