Product Description
This is a selection of essays from the author's Web site, http://www.joelonsoftware.com. Joel Spolsky started the web log in March 2000 in order to offer his insights, based on years of experience, on how to improve the world of programming. His extraordinary writing skills, technical knowledge, and caustic wit have made him a programming guru. This log has become infamous among the programming world, and is linked to more than 600 other websites and translated into 30+ languages!
This book covers every imaginable aspect of software programming, from the best way to write code to the best way to design an office in which to write code. The book will relate to all software programmers (Microsoft and Open Source), anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of programming, or anyone trying to manage a programmer. Spolsky will be writing an introduction for the book.

About the Author
Joel’s Web log, Joel on Software, is one of the most popular independent Web sites for programmers. Written with a keen sense of humor that can be enjoyed by Joe Consumer or Joe Programmer, Joel on Software is the exception to the typical Web log. Joel grew up in Albuquerque, NM and Jerusalem, and is currently living in New York City. He has programmed for Microsoft, Viacom, and Juno; all before starting his own company in 2002, Fog Creek Software. Joel is the author of User Interface Design for Programmers (Apress, 2001).
