Software project estimation
Saw this interesting blog post on 'Estimating Project Costs - Not a Black Art' by a web development team at Microsoft. They discuss different way of estimating and how varied timescales can be - will the answer be different if you are asked on a Monday morning to on a Friday afternoon?
On the same subject Steve McConnell of Code Complete, Rapid Development and Software Project Survival Guide (to name a few) has a new book coming soon on Software Estimation. His books are a must read by any developer/project manager and they do stand re-reading every couple of years.
Also on the reading front, Matt Davey points out another upcoming book, Practical .NET for Financial Markets which sounds interesting.
