We got a lot of untested code but we want to change this, so we started writing unit and Selenium tests. But of course these tests have to be run sometimes. I know it's possible to run tests automatically. Do you know good pratice-oriented books or websites dealing with this problem? Thanks for any recommendations! ...
When ever domain driven design is discussed, recommendations are almost always made to read Applying Domain Driven Design and Patterns by Jimmy Nilsson and Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans. Ideally, one would read them both, but for someone who is new to DDD, which of the books above gives the most bang for the buck/hour in a heads up...

I have a selection of relatives that want to buy me Christmas presents, sadly I can think of only 3 things that I really need (I'm a pretty content person). However, it occurred to me that I want to learn Ruby a little at some point and getting a Dead tree version of a Ruby book would be useful for that. As such I'm looking for suggest...
I want to collect a list of handy references on Haskell, that would be useful when one needs to be refreshed about the basic and mundane or move to more advanced materials. In terms of books, Real-World Haskell doesn't seem to fit the bill, because it's moves a bit slowly. On the other hand, I like Programming in Haskell. Even though it...

What is a good book to become an SQL master? That is, learn how to tweak queries, table design, optimizing the server, etc. I use mostly MySQL and Postgres, but maybe a DBMS agnostic book would come handy. The "optimizing the server" part is probably specific to each DBMS. I would like to know of a good book to learn advanced SQL and d...
I keep reading in news and blogs that programmers do not read books, that the book industry is 'in decline' and that writing a book isn't worth the effort as the money is pathetic. My question: is it true? Should we just bury the book industry and stick to Googling and MSDN and the like? ...
I think I know Turbo Pascal quite well. Now I`d like to switch to Delphi, and I need the book on exactly the language and its abilities, not about VCL components and IDE features. Which book would you advice me to read? I started Marco Cantu "Mastering Delphi 7" but soon understood it is too complicated for me. ...

In my free time, I set up MythTV boxes, install open-source firmware on my WRT-54GL wireless router, and generally geek out. My girlfriend wants to und...
The game design field has probably the lowest signal-to-noise ratio on the web out of any other. Seriously, try searching for advanced materials related to physics modeling, collision detection or the like and the amount of woefully bad or inaccurate material/tutorials/forum posts you will turn up is astounding. There are so many wanna...

Hi guys, I have recently found a job in my university which requires me to know Visual Basic (VB). Can you please advise me of some good books on this topic? I have not tried to learn VB yet, but I know the basics of Assembler, Pascal and C++ (a little bit). It is highly likely that I'll be involved in database programming. Thanks for...
Maybe it is not directly programming related question, but anyway. Is there a book you can recommend, covering some history of business software with kind of a big picture of how the field originated and went trough its evolution to become what it is today? I don't mean the history of software development, but the history of business so...
