"Why didn't I..."

kmikemoo

I never thought of putting technical books in these Little Libraries.  I feel a little foolish now.  I've probably thrown out some great starter books.

Time to change my wayward ways.

  • I'm going to do that. Put some databooks and Object Oriented (Grady Booch !!!!) software books in a random book exchange place.
    I don't read them anymore, but they are still relevant, and changed my life.
    Why cling onto them?

    (Grady Booch' "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design With Applications" rewired my brain. That book made me think different, analyse different. Hard to explain, but it unlocked a different thinking pattern. It had and has more impact on my career than my formal studies.
    Little correction: My professor in my sophomore year told me to read that book, so that may count as formal studies. Thank you Erik @ Groep T Leuven)
