Books on Software Development

First things first.  If you want to read books on software development – buy a subscription to Safari Books Online.  For $10/month, you will have access to hundreds of books.  This is important because in my experience, most books on software are terrible.  Why spend $40+ on a book that has only a few useful chapters?  Safari lets you pick the best from several books on a topic.  

The following books however, are worth buying and reading in full.   Most technical books are about skimming for code examples – these books are worth reading for understanding.   I’m not claiming these are the best or must-have books in software development, but they will certainly be worth your while.
