Books in My SD Card
Well, since I don't have much money left on buying some great books from great authors, I'm left with the "digitalized" copy of their piece of mind.
The first is the great handbook of Code Complete (Second Edition, Steve McConnell). I've read the Contents, and (not quite) surprisingly, every single thing a developer needs to know is in the book.
The second is the even older book from the first. The Mythical Man-Month (Anniversary Edition, Frederick Brooks). Skimming through the metaphoryc Contents, this is the handbook for Project Managers.
The third book would be the oldest of all, Software Engineering Economics (Barry Boehm). This book is so elusive to get that I haven't been able to find both the digital version and the hard copy version (ITB Library has one according to the records, but I can't found the book - someone must've stolen it!)
While looking for these books at Amazon, I realized that these books are not priced over thickness (like most Indonesian publisher does) or cute graphic design (like most MS Press Books). They were priced over content and age (Boehm's is three times as McConnell's). Seems like creating a book that stands the test of time is a great life project.
