I liked the one he wrote ;). Last year (BC), I enjoyed Advanced Swift. In fact, I was inspired to write a collection utility, based on it.

He knows his stuff; especially when teamed with the wizards at objc.io.

But the classics are never out of date. Rapid Development, along with other McConnell classics, is a "must-read," as far as I'm concerned.

But the book that probably has had more impact on me, than any other, was The Design of Everyday Things, by Don Norman. It -literally- changed the way I look at the world (as a designer). I think anyone that designs things to be used by other people, would benefit from reading it.

(Author of the blog post here) Thank you for the kind words about Advanced Swift, Chris. I'm glad you liked it.
