A bit different from the audiobook request 2 years ago, as I’m not looking for audiobooks (so it does not have to be nice to listen to, I can see code examples) but regular books you read. Let me know which books helped you out the most, or that you just found fun to read!
EDIT: Thank you to everyone for helping me inflate my reading list! I was wondering what question I should ask to get answers including books on databases, cybersecurity, basically any topic that might fall under “computer science” and not just programming. In hindsight I maybe should have posted somewhere other than Programming and said something other than “Programming book recommendations” if I wanted that, but since I am also interested in programming and software engineering all these books will definitely be eaten soon. Thank you!
Oh, and !books@programming.dev for programming books exists but is sadly not getting much attention.
That Head First about design patterns actually takes heavy inspiration from the Gang of Four. I haven’t read both (only Head First), but I’d wager you don’t need to read GoF if you’ve read Head First.
Only the writing style… is somewhat cringy.
that is the selling point of the head first books, they all feature bad jokes and other oddities to help you remember what you’ve read. it works.
