Recommended Reading
This page collects both bibliography as well as links to online literature. The scope is development for OOo, in various programming languages.
OOo-specific
- the (somewhat outdated) OOo Coding Guidelines
- how to write correct C++
- how to write and how to make code compile warning-free
- this page, of course ;-)
Software engineering in general
- Design Patterns - Erich Gamma et al. - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code - Martin Fowler et al. - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- The Pragmatic Programmer - Andrew Hunt, David Thomas - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Sustainable Software Development: An Agile Perspective - Kevin Tate - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Concurrent Programming in Java 2nd edition - Doug Lea - Publisher: Addison-Wesley.
Yes, this is a Java book. But the concepts within are universally applicable.
C++ Programming
The basics:
- C++ Primer 3rd edition - Stanley B Lippman, Josee Lajoie - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Accelerated C++ - Andrew Koenig, Barbara Moo - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
The reference:
- The C++ Programming Language Special Edition - Bjarne Stroustrup - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- the ISO C++ standard
- preliminary, but free draft
- official c++ standard (2003er revision, huge price tag)
Simply indispensable:
- Exceptional C++ - Herb Sutter - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- More Exceptional C++ - Herb Sutter - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Exceptional C++ Style - Herb Sutter - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Effective C++ 2nd edition - Scott Meyers - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Effective STL - Scott Meyers - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- C++ Coding Standards - Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
Advanced Topics:
- Modern C++ Design - Andrei Alexandrescu - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- C++ Templates - David Vandevoorde, Nicolai Josuttis - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Large-Scale C++ Software Design - John Lakos - Publisher: Addison-Wesley
- Exception Handling: A False Sense of Security - Tom Cargill - C++ Report
- Exception-Safety in Generic Components - David Abrahams
A really complete resource for the essential stuff written about C++ is ACCU's (Association of C/C++ Users) collection of book reviews
Java Programming
Introductory:
- Java Examples in a Nutshell - Flanagan, D - Publisher: O'Reilly
- Java in a Nutshell (deluxe Edition) - various authors - Publisher: O'Reilly
Definitive:
- The Java Language Specification, Third Edition - Gosling, Joy, Steele, Bracha - Addison–Wesley, 2005 (sadly, the third edition is a typographic disaster).
Tips and Tricks:
- Effective Java Programming Language Guide - Bloch - Addison–Wesley, 2001.
- Java Puzzlers: Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases - Bloch, Gafter - Addison–Wesley, 2005.
- Concurrent Programming in Java: Design Principles and Patterns, Second Edition - Lea - Addison–Wesley, 2000.

Free Resources
From the above list, everything that's free (as in free beer):
- e-Books
- c++ draft standard
- the (somewhat outdated) OOo Coding Guidelines
- how to write correct C++
- how to write and how to make code compile warning-free
