[ale] OT Re: [ale] Microsoft now favors fair competition

[Charles Shapiro]

Oh now.  I hate to jump into this, but Microsoft Press has published
some fine books on the practice of programming. I recommend Steve
Maguire's _Writing_Solid_Code_ (ISBN: 1556155514) and
Steve McConnell's _Code_Complete_ (ISBN: 1556154844) to anyone who
writes code for others to use. They're both filled with real-world
advice which really works, and they're inspiring to boot. They're also
platform-neutral, although they're biased heavily toward C and C++. This
is a product of the time they were written, rather than any particular
evil Corporate Conspiracy.
