Day 2 Stats

[Michael Minutillo]

Howdy folks,

After 2 days we have 15 members. 10 people have filled out the survey and here is how we currently stand

What we want to read:

9 DDD

9 Pragmatic Programmer

8 Refactoring

8 Design Patterns

8 Clean Code

Other suggestions:

Growing Object Oriented Software, Guided by Tests {sound cool}

Patterns on Enterprise Application Architecture

Working Effectively with Legacy Code

What we do:

8 C#

4 Ruby

2 Python

Others

VB, Boo, Delphi, SQL

Also, apparently beer icecream is not a good plan

So far its pretty tight but it looks as it DDD and Prag Prog are in the lead. I lean towards starting with Prag Prog as its a lighter easier read. Then again, perhaps DDD would provoke the deeper discussion. Who knows.

Anyway, if you feel strongly and you haven't taken the poll then please do: http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/482127

If you know other people who might be interested please extend them an invitation. How much lead time do folks need to get the book once one has been chosen?

Regards,

Mike

Hi

Book Depository seems to have the best price for both leading contenders, and claims it takes 1-3 weeks for books to get to Australia. 

Bookware seems to be the cheapest Australian distributor who claims to have stock for both. They're in Sydney, so I wouldn't expect it to take more that say a week to get the books to most places in Australia.

You can see several options for purchasing the books on booko: http://www.booko.com.au/books/isbn/9780321125217 and http://www.booko.com.au/books/isbn/9780201616224
