THE COMMANDANT'S PROFESSIONAL READING LIST

This is my recommended reading list. My recommendations are just that, I am not a commandant. It is only based on books I have read, so obviously biased and quite limited. I have named it based on one of the books in my reading list. Parts are .NET centered because that is mostly what I know. A lot is focused on the web. This is not a generic reading list for any software developer, I am mostly focused on web and API focused work stuff in .NET and so is this list. It leans towards the software developer wanting to be a tech-lead, architect or CTO.

A lot of links goes to Amazon, because I have those books in kindle for the most part and it is easy for me, but get them from anywhere.

THE COMMANDANT'S PROFESSIONAL READING LIST

If USMC Grunts can read five books a year, then so can software developers. https://www.marines.mil/News/Marines-TV/videoid/747008/

/edit I made this page in Feb 2020 because there was no documentation publicly available, and I wanted to share what little information I could find. I'm not associated with IBM.

More official documentation can be found here: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datamanagement/blogs/vishwa-hs1/2020/07/12/db2-net-packages-download-and-configure

Acronyms Seriously Suck - Elon Musk

From time to time, Musk will send out an e-mail to the entire company to enforce a new policy or let them know about something that's bothering him. One of the more famous e-mails arrived in May 2010 with the subject line: Acronyms Seriously Suck:

There is a creeping tendency to use made up acronyms at SpaceX. Excessive use of made up acronyms is a significant impediment to communication and keeping communication good as we grow is incredibly important. Individually, a few acronyms here and there may not seem so bad, but if a thousand people are making these up, over time the result will be a huge glossary that we have to issue to new employees. No one can actually remember all these acronyms and people don't want to seem dumb in a meeting, so they just sit there in ignorance. This is particularly tough on new employees.

That needs to stop immediately or I will take drastic action - I have given enough warning over the years. Unless an acronym is approved by me, it should not enter the SpaceX glossary.
