Knows A Ton, Talks A Ton

April 10, 2009

Joel knows a ton about software and talks a ton about
software. His blog was launched in 2000, and it still
has currency in the tech mainstream.

He deals with technical issues, but he also deals
with management issues of software development. He was
on the Microsoft Excel team. He would know.

His domain is Windows, not surprisingly.

Great insight, great depth

March 31, 2009

Joel has a range of articles on topics including UI
design, managing programmers, hiring programmers, and
understanding how to think about software from a design
perspective and a business perspective. His articles
are sometimes overly personal and he tends to toot his
own horn, but he's genuine and clear.
