"The Best Software Writing I: Selected and Introduced by Joel Spolsky" es un libro que recopila varios artículos de distintos blogs de gente que escribe bien sobre software. Recalco el bien porque ese fue el objetivo principal del autor, ya que mucha gente escribe sobre software, pero pocos logran hacerlo eficazmente o con estilo.
Joel Spolsky es conocido por su blog Joel on Software. Lei sus dos libros, Joel on Software y More Joel on Software, realmente dos libros muy buenos, pero con este no la pego (tal vez por eso nunca se extendió esta colección, solo salió el volumen uno).
Los artículos son interesantes, y hay varios de ellos que son excelentes, pero hay algunos que no son muy entretenidos o son muy técnicos. También la variedad de temas hace que el libro sea poco coherente, aunque es algo esperable de una compilación de artículos. Les dejo la lista de todos ellos y subrayo los mejores para que los busquen en los blogs de los respectivos autores, les recomiendo esto antes que conseguir el libro.
