Thanks for sharing very good blog.
ReplyDeletePlease feel free to suggest the great books which we have missed here...
ReplyDeleteHi Venky,
ReplyDeleteCame to your blog seraching for ThoughWorks interview process from an external link: http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t132425-thoughtsworks-job-interview.html, but it is reporting a broken link now. Can you give me some inside into their interview process?
I hope this is not the right space to discuss those stuffs.... ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Venky,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great list of good books. Do I understand well, they are sorted by decreasing interest by your colleagues in the India office?
The book Analysis Patterns by M. Fowler is important and missing, probably on the shelves already. I would also expect Effective Java by Joshua Bloch and The Mythical Man-Month by F. Brooks, not everyone has read them.
And you were in London you would have a couple of books about finance, e.g. the Hull.
I'm glad to see some excellent non technical books in the company library (Don Norman, Richard Dawkins...). Cheers
Books listed here are just sorted in alphabetical order and it covers different technical areas. As you pointed out, we already have few books in shelf and are not listed here.
ReplyDeleteActually i need to purchase the Restful Webservices book, i have searched online and didn't find it any where. could you please tell me where i can find this to purchase?
