The books on my desk are a combination of reference books and books that are good conversation-starters (I've read them already and don't need them as reference, but they're good for lending out to people, especially junior devs). Reference: - Effective Java (good for learning the mindset of developing backward-compatible APIs in any language) - Enterprise Integration Patterns (I work on an enterprise APIs team) - Designing Data-Intensive Applications - Camel in Action Good for lending out: - The Phoenix Project - Making Work Visible - Effective DevOps - The Pragmatic Programmer - REST in Practice
