My Job Went to India: 52 Ways to Save Your Job
Author: Chad Fowler
Genre: Non-Fiction (Computers)
Date Finished: March 2009
This book is pretty mistitled. In fact, in its second edition, it was retitled The Passionate Programmer, which seems much more appropriate.
In the tradition of The Pragmatic Programmer, this book consists of many tips which stand alone. You can pick your way through, piece by piece, taking value where you find it. There are many memorable stories with ideas of gaining, retaining and increasing your technical proficiency, as well as making yourself more effective at your job (which may have nothing to do with technical proficiency.)
