Since the release of the bestselling title 'Joel on Software' in 2004, requests for a sequel have been relentless. So, we went back to the famed JoelonSoftware.com archives and pulled out a new batch of favourites, many of which have been downloaded over one million times. With Joel's newest book, 'More Joel on Software', you'll get an even better (not to mention updated) feast of Joel's opinions and impressions on software development, software design, running a software business, and so much more. This is a new selection of essays from the author's web site.
Containing a collection of all-new articles from the original, 'More Joel on Software' has even more of an edge than the original, and the tips for running a business or managing people have far broader application than the software industry. We feel it is safe to say that this is the most useful book you will buy this year.
What you'll learn
- The best approaches to managing and hiring extraordinary people
- Advice for those interested in the software industry as a career and for managers who want to get them
