Release It!, Michael T. Nygard

A stunningly good book!  I really wish I’d read this book earlier.  If you are responsible for developing any kind of web system that needs to be up 24/7 then you must read this.  The book is full of  useful design patterns and anti-patterns, and I must admit the number of times I thought, ‘yup, trying to fix one of those problems right now’!
My only complaint is that the examples are all Java related, and I develop C# systems, even still the lessons, concepts and patterns are cross platform (some is a bit specific).

If it’s not a course book then it should be! and if it’s not then it should be the first book you read before trying to build a real enterprise level web system.
