I read<br/></p> <p><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=lqKho8KWXmAC&amp;dq=the+innovator%27s+dilemma&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=bn&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=MLhnSu_-DJWHlAev4LjgCQ&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=4" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Innovator's Dilemma (disruptive tech)</a><br/> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Mythical Man Month (managing software)</a><br/> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Chasm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Crossing the Chasm (startup)</a><br/> <a href="http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~dbbook/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Database Management Systems, The COW Book</a><br/> <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596003098/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Programming C#, The OSTRICH Book</a><br/> <a href="http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430216263" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Beginning iPhone Developmen, The GRAPEFRUIT Book</a><br/></p> <p>Each book was amazing but the Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton Christensen (1997!!!) is really a fantastic book, and it got me really thinking about the modern software world. The challenge addressed is disruptive technology, and how disk drive companies and non-technical companies are always disrupted by new, game changing technology. It gives one a new perspective when thinking about Google, probably the biggest 'web' company. Why do they have their hands in EVERYTHING? It's because they don't want to have their position <i>disrupted</i> by something new. The preview on google is plenty to get the idea. Read it!</p>
