Another fantastic? book on my bookshelf – “Joel on Software: And on Diverse and Occasionally Related Matters That Will Prove of Interest to Software Developers, Designers, and Managers, and to Those Who, Whether by Good Fortune or Ill Luck, Work with Them in Some Capacity” by J.Sposlky. Well, I’m still not sure why this book gets so high marks on amazon web site but I’m sure of one thing about it – this book is fun. I did enjoy reading it although some bits were really pis..ng me off (like calling all people who work in McDonald’s ‘morons’) . Some people say don’t buy it – you can read it free on the web, but I definietly prefer printed version.
It is difficult to find anything bad said about Microsoft in this book and some articles touching Unix/Linux world seem to be unfair or mostly outdated but it is still nice to read Joel’s opinions even if we don’t agree with them every time.
This guy for sure has a lots of experience and for the beginner like me it’s nice to read through someone else IT career.
Again HR (Highly Recommended) :)

I was waiting for it very very long but looking at betas I just knew it will pay off. Just to share the exictement, Netbeans has moved from all the betas, milestones and release canditates to the final release. I have found it a bit buggy when working with EJB 3.0 and web services using beta versions but I’ve heard that the final release is of excelent quality. This version of Netbeans is different!
If you haven’t done so already you just have to give it a try!
Highly recommended!
Download the software from www.netbeans.org
Check out the Netbeans Magazine Issue 4 ( in .pdf)
PS. I love the spalsh screen!

Starting from now on I have decided to add to my blog entries of the books read by me recently.

First one is probably the thinnest and nicest to read ever. If you are interested in developing your programming skills beyond java, how things are in your neighbourhood, go ahead and read ‘Beyond Java’ by Bruce A. Tate.
I found this book really interesting. It moved in me some old, not touched for a long time cogs, the machine which pushed me into software development, need of discovering new things. I have realized that I need to improve not only for a bit better CV but mainly for fun, for those things all of us do programming.
It’s a must read for all java developers.
