Thank you Rhodri. I do have Mythical Man-Month - a great book indeed. I was looking for more technical books - I have now got a good set - Putting it across so that others can also use maybe - Code Complete, GOF, Mythical Man-Month, SICP - Thank you Paul - I have downloaded it from Web Site, Introduction to algorithm - I have placed an order for the same, The Pragmatic Programmer - Planning to buy, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code - again planning to buy, The C Programming Language - I had this, lost it, now I will buy again, The Little Schemer - I am not sure about buying this - I dont know scheme Software Tools - Seems to be a classic - not sure whether I will buy.
