Opinion
DHH: Kent Beck's 'Smalltalk Best Practices' is his most influential software book
“My favorite book on the nitty gritties of programming is a small book he wrote in the nineties called Small Talk Best Practices. It's a quite short book and it is the most influential book on how I write software that I've ever read.”

DHH: Recommending Kent Beck's Smalltalk book pushed print prices to $4,500
“And at one point I think it was not available yet as an ebook. You could only find the print versions and managed to create so much demand that I think at one point it went for 4500 dollars for a print edition.”
