I am "listening" The Pragmatic Programmer via the Coding Blocks podcast. They have a series of episodes about the book ;)
Nice! How do you like the Coding Blocks podcast and what do you think of the book so far?
The podcast is interesting, they are experienced developers just talking about a different topic each episode, and they give some cool insights.
The series about the Pragmatic Programmer are some of the best episodes, specially the first couple. There's a lot to process. It gives many things to have a frame of reference when coding, refactoring, planing, even selling projects.
I read the book and this podcast is an awesome way to go over the contents of the book. Thanks!
I see a lot of people are reading this. Makes me curious. What is special about this?
It's a good read if you're into constant improvement, Visakh! I consider it a good reference book regardless of which stage of your career you're currently at. There's this post on Medium that breaks down why it's so essential.
Clean Coder, TDD with python, DDD Distilled.
I'm currently reading The Lean Startup =)
Currently reading “The Linux Programming Interface”. There’s a lot of features in the Linux that are typically exposed in most languages and allow you to leverage the full power of the OS. Cool to add tools to the tool box!
I recently finished Clean Code and now I am with Pragmatic programmer. Two essential books!
you dont know js async await.
I'm reading Joel On Software; a little outdated (1999-2004), but really insightful stuff regardless 😄
I just ordered a Kindle and have Clean Code and Pragmatic Programmer queued up. Reading game about to go crazy 🔥
Designing Data Intensive Applications - Really awesome if you want to be a better back-end engineer
Software Engineering at Google I just finished the 8th chapter out of 22. It has very interesting ideas, cover a lot of stuff. I wouldn't say it is a masterpiece but I do recommend it for any CTO or technical leader to read it because it covers many topics.
I just ordered Planning Extreme Programming. Oldie but goodie, I hear.
Have you read TDD by Example by the same author?
I have not! Do you recommend?
For sure! If you'll enjoy it, I'd also suggest to read GOOSGT. It felt like I observed the everyday job of seasoned programmers in a text mode. The similar feeling I had while watching RailsCasts.
Great suggestions for books in the comments, but I'll suggest some interesting blogs.
The great thing about blogs is that they will often just plant seeds of ideas in your head, and you get to think for yourself. Know more cool blogs? List them below.
I finished reading TDD with python last month. It was a nice book to read for a programmer without testing experience because not only it taught me about the topic, it emphasized the importance and value of testing.
Last week I read the docs of django rest framework and also another ebook about it which is recommended by the docs. I got the concept but it's kinda missing something so I decided to read "The design of Web APIs". So far, I can say it's a good book that gives you priniciples in designing APIs.
