"C Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata
One of the best beginner programming books I’ve ever read. I wish this would have been the first book I read when I started programming!
"The Software Engineer's Guidebook" by Gergely Orosz
There might not be such a thing as a 10x engineer, but if you follow Gergely’s advice in this book you’re guaranteed to 10x your chances of having a great career in tech.
Using ChatGPT/Copilot can make you a worse developer
Overall the main issue I see is that it's being used in a fumbling way by fumbling devs, to the point where they don't really understand why Copilot generated the code that way
"Learning JavaScript Design Patterns" by Addy Osmani
A very good birds-eye view of design patterns for the mid to advanced level JavaScript developer. I learned quite a few things from the book, and I highly recommend it as a weekend read.
"A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout
A great read overall, with very solid advice. I only wished the book would have been at least a few chapters longer!
Theme Plugin for JetBrains IDEs - Solarized Dark Unified
A better Solarized Dark IDE theme for JetBrains IDEs
"Rust Web Programming" by Maxwell Flitton
It's one of those technical books where you really want to write the code alongside reading it, otherwise things don't really "click" just from reading.
“Practical WebAssembly” by Sendil Kumar Nellaiyapen
It might sound a bit harsh, but in its current incarnation I frankly I don't see the purpose of this book.
"Hands-On Functional Programming in Rust" by Andrew Johnson
Even though one could expect more "functional" aspects to be detailed, judging from the book's title, I think it strikes a very good balance.
"Command-Line Rust" by Ken Youens-Clark
You can definitely feel that the author has a lot of experience writing high-quality production code.
"Beginning Rust" by Carlo Milanesi
A very good book, definitely recommended. With a better editor and some small - but important - improvements, it would become my number 1 recommendation for professional programmers to start with when learning Rust.
