definitely, the text [about programmers not reading books] is present [in the original 1993 Code Complete]. It appears at the end of page 760.

Thank you!

what would you recommend for a business analyst?

Hi Katie,

Here’s my top 5 for business analysts; two are the same.

  1. Krug’s “Don’t Make Me Think”
  2. DeMarco and Lister “Peopleware”
  3. McConnell’s “Rapid Development” (more project management oriented)
  4. Cooper “The Inmates Are Running The Asylum”
  5. Nielsen/Loranger “Prioritizing Web Usability”

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
