I'm working on an international team, with developers in China with varying levels of English skills. In the US, we find several books very useful in helping programmers advance their skills:
Does anyone know if there are Mandarin translations of these books, or what the equivalent books in Mandarin would be?
They all have Chinese version:
Design Patterns (Gof Book) 设计模式：可复用面向对象软件的基础 http://www.china-pub.com/684
Effective C++ by Scott Meyers Effective C++：改善程序技术与设计思维的55个有效做法 http://www.china-pub.com/30737
More Effective C++ by Scott Meyers More Effective C++中文版35个改善编程与设计的有效方法 http://www.china-pub.com/34698
Refactoring by Martin Fowler 重构：改善既有代码的设计（中文版） http://www.china-pub.com/12901
The Pragmatic Programmer by Hunt & Thomas 程序员修炼之道--从小工到专家(十周年纪念版) http://www.china-pub.com/47975
In general I will not recommend you to read the translated book, because I found reading English is easier to understand, especially for GoF book, I remembered when I first read the Chinese version of the book, I was totally lost, I don't understand what it is saying.
I will recommend you another good book for design pattern: java与模式 http://www.china-pub.com/8182 , it is really good one, which is originally written in Chinese.
