Thanks for the nice list. I really should check out that Code Complete 2 since everyone is praising it. Currently I'm reading The Design of Everyday Thigs. Any opinions on Clean Code or Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests? Maybe they are a bit more Java-oriented, but at least Clean Code was useful for my kind of young developer.

I also had to check my backpack and found: - Leatherman Wave - Maglite Solitaire - Bike fixing tool (my bike is old) - Sport tape In my pockets I have N81, keys and some coins. If I stay longer away from home I also take my Asus UL30VT with me.
