Developer's Bookshelf

I used to write books review on my old site, but since moving to Typepad I haven't kept it up. So here are a list of the books which I've recently read and recommend buying (or at least getting your boss to buy them for you.).

Don't make me think (Steve Krug)
Defensive Design for the web (37Signals)
Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do (BJ Fogg)
Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web (Christina Wodtke)
Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering (Robert Glass)

In my opinion Defensive Design, Blueprints, Don't make me think and Facts and Fallacies should be given to every new (web) developer when they start at a company, with the caveat that they should be read before starting any development work.
