I just bought $600 worth of programming books and I’m pretty stoked to read them. Mostly a lot of titles considered “the classics” but my brain works best with hard print materials.
- trevcanhuman 4mo agowould you mind sharing the names of the books you bought?
- thundergolfer 4mo agohttps://teachyourselfcs.com/ https://teachyourselfcs.com/ is an excellent list
- zippyman55 4mo agoThis is a good investment. Your fingers will remember things long down the road and you will be better at having an AI bullshit detector for code development.

If you didn't get it, I highly recommend "higher order perl" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-Order_Perl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-Order_Perl That book has some of the coolest programming techniques. Even if not all of them are applicable everywhere, truly a good refresher. I don't know perl but write the examples and follow along in JS. Great stuff.
