The Effective Engineer: How to Leverage Your Efforts In Software Engineering to Make a Disproportionate and Meaningful Impact

Don't let the first six pages put you off—once you get past them, this book is truly excellent. It's packed with valuable insights and practical advice. And that's coming from me, a developer with over 11 years of professional experience

It is a great book full of practical advice on how to get more done as a software developer. In fact, it is one of the three books I think all programmers would benefit from reading (the other two are Code Complete and The Pragmatic Programmer). Full review available at my blog.

Lots of truths, I recommend it.
