Books and Courses

A list of books and courses that I've found highly instructive.

Project Management

• How to Run Successful Projects III - The Silver Bullet by Fergus O'Connell

Design

• Design - Creation of Artifacts in Society by Karl T. Ulrich
• The Design of Design - Essays From a Computer Scientist by Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.

Programming Language

• Programming Languages Online Course by Dan Grossman   

Largely inspired by this reading list on Agile.
