Product Description
Joel Spolsky began his legendary web log, www.joelonsoftware.com, in March 2000, in order to offer insights for improving the world of programming. Spolsky based these observations on years of personal experience. The result just a handful of years later? Spolsky's technical knowledge, caustic wit, and extraordinary writing skills have earned him status as a programming guru! His blog has become renowned throughout the programming world--now linked to more than six hundred websites and translated into over thirty languages. Joel on Software covers every conceivable aspect of software programming--from the best way to write code, to the best way to design an office in which to write code! All programmers, all people who want to enhance their knowledge of programmers, and all who are trying to manage programmers will surely relate to Joel's musings.

A Must read for programmers & project managers
The single most valuable book I have read on software development and project management. Some of the later articles seemed a little out of sequence but its a great read with plenty of humour to illustrate points as well.
Just the ticket
Joel has that common sense design persona and when you read his work you will say yeaaaahh that's right... .I blimin well thought so myself :) If your looking for a book to entertain and inform and have a sense of humor coupled with a yearning to fill your head with common sense to inform your design area, whatever it may be, this book is a good place to visit. But don't take my word for it, in the spirit of good design you can read most of the content on Joel's Blog. If you like it, the books for you.
Joel has a marvelous way of explaining himself. Becoming more and more popular from his public blog coverage (which I recommend you read).
Nice and easy read
Great airport read. If you are involved in any way in software development few ideas should make you thing... not as I agree with everything that was said there.
