Essential Books

To follow up on my post concerning your Knowledge Portfolio I thought it would be nice to gather what you find to be the essential books that any programmer or designer should have. Here is what I have come up with so far.

  • Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach To Web Usability
  • Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web
  • The Elements of Typographic Style
  • Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative
  • Envisioning Information
  • The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
  • Grid Systems in Graphic Design
  • Universal Principles of Design
  • Thinking With Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students
  • The Design of Everyday Things
  • Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Everyday Things
  • The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master

How about you?
