@jsunderhood, Can you advice some books (1-3 per lvl) that every developer should read on every lvl (junior, middle, senior) ? Standard question for myself, maybe in future I will made some statistic with this. Thanks so much :) #learnFromPro
Sounds like an amazing question. I'll try to answer that today. twitter.com/svart0222/stat…
This is a very interesting question, unfortunately, there's not a lot of programming books I've read, but overall I'm an active reader. Generally, I like to read books about technology, philosophy, psychology, mythology and anarchism among other miscellaneous books.
Regarding programming, the first few books people tend to read are very fundamental books, either teaching about a programming language or not talking about programming languages themselves at all, just concepts.
In that area, I read K&R's the C programming language and loved it
For Rust, there's the Rust Programming Language book and C++ has "A Tour of C++". Regarding JavaScript, I'd imagine you're all already familiar with it but if needed, I heard a lot of nice things about "Eloquent JavaScript".
My favorite programming book of all time has to be "Why's (poignant) guide to Ruby". It's one of the first programming books I ever read and it has to be one of the most beautiful out there.
I will recommend you take a look even if you don't necessarily need to learn Ruby.
Apart from that, I really like the book "Learn you a Haskell" for Haskell/FP, "CSS Secrets" (thanks @serrynaimo) for blowing your mind with how expressive CSS can be and "Automate the boring stuff with Python" to teach yourself some very practical Python automation.
