Product Description
Synopsis
Joel Spolsky began his legendary web log, www.joelonsoftware.com, in March 2000, in order to offer insights for improving the world of programming. Spolsky based these observations on years of personal experience. The result just a handful of years later? Spolsky's technical knowledge, caustic wit, and extraordinary writing skills have earned him status as a programming guru! His blog has become renowned throughout the programming world--now linked to more than six hundred websites and translated into over thirty languages. Joel on Software covers every conceivable aspect of software programming--from the best way to write code, to the best way to design an office in which to write code! All programmers, all people who want to enhance their knowledge of programmers, and all who are trying to manage programmers will surely relate to Joel's musings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must read for programmers & project managers, 27 Jan 2006
By Andrew (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
The single most valuable book I have read on software development and project management. Some of the later articles seemed a little out of sequence but its a great read with plenty of humour to illustrate points as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice and easy read, 15 Mar 2006
By Jarek (Warsaw, Poland) - See all my reviews
Great airport read. If you are involved in any way in software development few ideas should make you thing... not as I agree with everything that was said there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is not in the Joel Club?, 27 Jul 2005
If you are mentioned in the book's title buy it. The book is a witty and insightful read and will definately help with any Dilbert-esque problems you may have.

Joel has a fantastic writing style and the book is nicely put together with a good rhythm and flow.
