In this video, I want to share 4 books that have shaped me over the years as a developer and that have helped me the most.
These 4 will represent a broader scope than just programming books as I think a good developer is one that's more well-rounded than just a "good programmer."
Have you read these books? What books have shaped you?

"Head first design patterns" really helped me a lot where I learned a lot about abstraction, decoupling, reusability, simplicity etc.. It is really a brain-friendly book with real-life examples of how a dev can implement a specific pattern.

@muralidharanvenkatraman1261 9 месяцев назад

thank you for sharing.

Ahh sounds helpful, will read it soon. Thanks for sharing.

head first books are comic books for developers. you will enjoy it and understand it by real world example.

@trex511ft 4 месяца назад

I don't trust head first series, I started reading head first java and it was terrible, full of ambiguities and treating you like a baby.

@stevancosovic4706 3 месяца назад

@@shadow6161No, its the standard programmer complex which tends to think that he's pro if he does stuff in harder way. Like C++ developers who have a possibility to deploy their app in pyrhon, but they chose C++ because its harder and makes them "pro" but does not in reality makes them dumb because he could deploy that app 3 months earlier in python. For me Head first design patterns is a great starting point for learning terminology and concepts in general. But, for the "pros" like you, they start with Design patterns from 1994 because its harder and they learn nothing from it.

Great video Travis, I always looked at my job in IT as a job but not like a career. I plan to focus on it like how a professional athlete would treat their career.

Award winning software book - Code Complete by Steve McConnell. This book is a timeless masterpiece that offers a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of software construction and coding practices. McConnell's writing is clear, concise, and incredibly insightful, making complex concepts accessible to both novices and experienced programmers. One of the standout features of 'Code Complete' is its emphasis on practicality. McConnell doesn't just preach theory; he provides actionable advice that you can immediately apply to your projects. Whether you're a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or a seasoned developer seeking to refine your skills, this book has something valuable to offer. It's a timeless classic that continues to be relevant in an ever-evolving field. This book is essential addition to every programmer's library.

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python helped me out to start off learning Python language. Would recommend 10/10

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software - by Charles Petzold was the book that truly helped me understand how computers and programmes work.

@montechristoJr 9 месяцев назад

I am currently reading this book and its filled with so much basic computer knowledge. Anyone who wants dig deeper into basics should definitely read this book.

@DD-cf2iv 9 месяцев назад

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) has truly helped me understand how programming works. I always felt like coding was magic;however, this book teaches you the essence of programming, so it does not matter what programming language you use. There is a version for Javascript. The 2nd addition is free, but not the Javascript version; however, if you prefer python, someone has made a free book that is inspired by SICP that explains coding in python. It's call composing programs.

THANKS So, question, would the Pragmatic Programmer be a good audio book listen or not?

@aipujols 9 месяцев назад

Thanks, Travis, never fail to provide inspiration. 🎉 One question, is there a suggested order to read these four books?

@TravisMedia 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! Not really, probably Phoenix Project last. The earlier the pragmatic programmer is read, the better, as the principles are really good.

@adamodimattia 5 месяцев назад

Is The Pragmatic Programmer really that good? I started reading it some time ago but I stopped because of JavaScript and problems that seemed to me somewhat specific to that language... Can any one share his/her experiences on this book especially regarding C++/Rust/C# programmers from game dev/engine/graphics world?

@stillmattwest 5 месяцев назад

The Phoenix Project definitely made me think about management differently.

@Mono-Basim 9 месяцев назад

Definitely reading the phoenix project

@TravisMedia 9 месяцев назад

You’ll definitely come away from it a more knowledgeable person.

@muralidharanvenkatraman1261 9 месяцев назад

Bought all the books and reading now.

@rahmanmusah4470 8 месяцев назад

I've read the one thing. Are the other books also non fiction or they're just textbooks?

Never read coding books but I'll pick up at least the first one. I was lazy to start learning something new at 30 but after reading Miyamoto Mushashi's The book of five rings, I started learning coding, this is the 3rd month three more months I'll be looking for a job if I'm consistent. And thanks for this channel.

I am re-learning after years of quitting college. And I did finish my first comeback project using python, I discover a book called "The Programmers Brain". The first chapter talks about the 3 types of memory, the short term, long term and working memory. It really gives me an idea how the mind works, and actually paves a way for me in learning. I was curios to know if you encounter that book too. And was hoping what can you say about it too. That book really give me a new hope again and I am slowly getting building up my broken pieces of confidence after suffering a depression. If anyone here knows the book I am talking too, I would love to know what is your honest opinion about the book. That could actually help me too. And thanks to books you shared that help you shaped as a developer. I would definetly buy them.

I do not want to suggest your book list to others. Here is the reason. Only the first book Soft Skills has more than 400 pages. Does it worth the time of a software engineer ?
