Quite simple, list programming related books you've read or are reading and how you liked them. Great resource for beginning FIRST coder's who need/want some extra reading material
Anyways, here goes! (I have my full list
here which I want to knock off before I die
)
The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas
Teaches a lot of programming concepts and ways to expand your knowledge on programming. Has a great bibliography and enforces great concepts for programming teams. Loved it.
Pragmatic Thinking and Learning by Andrew Hunt
Great resource on how to expand your mind, sort of like learning how to learn.
Code Complete by Steve McConnell
Haven't read this one yet...it's on my reading queue.
Hacking: The Art of Exploitation by Jon Erickson
Awesome look into the deeps of computer science and how programs really work.
The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth
I don't own this one...yet. It will probably take me a year to conquer, this is pretty much the ultimate guide to computer algorithms and structure.
Masterminds of Programming by Federico Biancuzzi and Shane Warden
This is a whole bunch of interviews with the coders behind more than a dozen (IIRC) major programming languages throughout the years. A great nostalgic look at how programming evolved.
Any other recommendations? I've got a huge list but I can never read enough books
