Design It!

Currently reading this. It gives a lot of insight in the process of software design. It also helps me to formulate better arguments on why I make certain decisions. A lot of the things discussed where things I was already doing to some degree.

Additionally, it also contains a bunch of procedural tools which can be used during design.

Your Code as a Crime Scene

I'm always interested in improving code quality. The premise of this book sounds interesting.

Software Design X-Rays

The follow-up to Your Code as a Crime Scene, so why not.

Unicorn Project

The sequel to the Phoenix Project. I want to read how the story continues.

Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World

It sounds interesting, and I wanted to read something which was more reporting about rather than instructing to.

The Pragmatic Programmer, 2nd edition

I read the original. It's a really good book. I mostly want to read this new version to freshen up, and find out about the new things.

Future reading list

The next few books might be added to my reading list in the future.

Refactoring Databases

I assume this is like the Martin Fowler Refactoring but for relational databases. So it is mostly interesting to get to know about various refactoring activities which can be applied to databases.

Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns

DHH mentioned this book to be worth reading, even when not using Smalltalk.
