I'm also spending alot of time over The "Dragon Book" is a book on compiler construction. While there might be some SE issues in there, that's not really its purpose. >What else should I check out? Any suggestions? Any advice? The textbook for my undergrad SE course was "Software Engineering, A Practitioner's Approach" by Rodger S. Pressman. I'd definitely reccomend it on the subject. I regularly use the stuff on Cohesion and Coupling to explain good initial design principles to developers who know how to code, but don't know what a good design looks like (there are an appalling amount of folks out there like that). --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
