While I was applying for a job yesterday, a peculiar thought hit me. Should I include my Wishlist with the application? This might seem awfully cocky of me. On the other hand, there are some good arguments for it. You can learn a lot about who someone is by the books they want to read.
- Am I interested in general programming, or just one problem domain?
- Do I seem like the sort of person you'd want to discuss things with over coffee?
- Am I ambitious?
I should hope that my list provides a good answer to all three.
(You can find my list here if you're interested in supporting Recoding!)
Nice list of books. Surprised by how many programmer books are available and the range of business books you are interested in.
