Tonight I finished an other one of my books. It covered the Agile Unified Process and Object Oriented Analysys & Design with UML. This is the book used by a course in Toronto I was going to take called "Business Systems Analyst". I now understand the importance of the BSA role on a project. It will take a lot of practice to get good at the UP, and to do the work of a BSA. Hopefully after a pilot project others will become interested.
Before starting my next book, I'll take a couple weeks off reading and will learn more about Collab.Net, Centric CRM and JRoller. That could take longer than a couple of weeks, but I would like to at least get them all installed on the same server and hopefully get my blog moved over to JRoller.
I haven't completely decided on which of my books I'll read next. The plan was to read the J2ME book for mobile app development. The other book was JUnit. I've read over half of it already, then lost it in the airport hehe. I think I get it, just need to put it into practice at work. What else? I had also planned to study the Sun Java Coding Conventions document, and the Sun JavaDoc Conventions. Combined it's over 100 pages. There's also my second book on design patterns. Geeze all of this reminds me of other books I wanted to read such as JavaScript, and advanced database programming. Well, at the moment I think I'll choose the J2ME book because it will be much more exciting than the last two I read, and it may be useful at work one day.
