I’m working as a CTO in a small company that builds a SaaS in health and social care domain.

Within the company we have a small and very capably software development team (which I’m leading) and employees that are experts in the social and health care domain.

We are running a company internal reading group where we select good and relevant literature, read it and discuss it afterwards.

I would like to introduce a book in the reading group to introduce basics of software development to non-devs of the company.

I’ve read a myriad of literature myself over the course of my career but now I’m looking for one book that introduces the various aspects of our domain without going too deep into any. Plus points if the book manages to be entertaining at the same time.

Some books I’ve looked into myself:

  • Code Complete 2 https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/code-complete-second/0735619670/
    • Concentrates on design and programming
    • Thin on methodologies and ways of working
  • Imposter’s Handbook
    • Entertaining
    • Concentrates on theory, tools and programming
    • Thin on things such as architecture or methodologies
  • Pragmatic Programmer
    • Great book
    • Concentrates on programming and design, some architecture
    • Not much about methodologies

Any suggestions?
