[DUG] What is the future for Delphi programmer? - summary

[Alister Christie]

I've been reading the Passionate Programmer 
<http://www.pragprog.com/titles/cfcar2/the-passionate-programmer> and 
been finding it quite good.  It's basically a self development book for 
geeks.  I've been reading it on my ebook reader and almost finished it.  
There is plenty of good advice in it.  I've read a couple of books from 
the "Pragmatic Bookshelf" and have been quite happy with them.  
Especially the fact the books are DRM free.
