So one of the best ways I find not just to increase my knowledge but to round out my skill set is still the humble book, sadly many of them these days are on my trusty Kindle as space is limited but the odd one does make its way to my physical bookshelf too! Textbooks in particular I really prefer in the physical format but as an eBook they are available anywhere WiFi is (or anywhere if I have downloaded them to my phone) which is brilliant – if only they included the eBook with the physical eh?
So after all that my reading list:
Planning to read (in no particular order):
- The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation
- Seven Databases in Seven Weeks: A Guide to Modern Databases and the NoSQL Movement
- NoSQL Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Emerging World of Polyglot Persistence
- Big Data: Using Smart Big Data, Analytics and Metrics to Make Better Decisions and Improve Performance
- Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die
- Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Fowler))
Read and would recommend (again in no particular order):
