The first one I read before was Effective C++, by Scott Meyers,and the one I'm reading now is Effective JavaScript, by David Herman.
I like these books because:
- The books are light, literally! I hate heavy books. Heavy books look good in libraries, but are pretty crappy everywhere else.
- The reading is light, figuratively. Each of the points more or less stands alone and is only a few pages long. This means you can read a couple of pages and still get something out of it.
- For me, the best part of these books is when I find a specific point that clearly points out that I've been doing something wrong for the last few years. In these aha moments, I can 'feel' my future code improving.
