[Bunkhouse] Review of "Secrets of the Rock Star Programmers: Riding the IT Crest" by Ed Burns

Katrina reviewed Secrets of the Rock Star Programmers: Riding the IT Crest by Ed Burns and gave it 6 out of 10 horseshoes.

The list of Rock Stars in "The Secrets of Rock Star Programmers" seems somewhat arbitrary. Probably great programmers, but not all of them would have come to mind if someone asked me who I considered Rock Star programmers, and many of the names that do come to mind aren't listed. ... That said, I really enjoyed reading this rather informal book which explores how some programmers approach their craft.

You can read the full review and discuss it here.
