I absolutely love programming books. I even more love the general purpose books (like mythical man month - a book still on my book pile).

The best multi purpose software engineering/programming books I've read were:

  • The Pragmatic Programmer (Thomas Hunt)
  • Clean Coder (Robert C. Martin)
  • The Clean Coder (Martin again)
  • Clean Architecture (and again :D)

Language specific:

  • Python: Test-driven Development with Python (Harry J.W. Percival) - the book can be bought but is also free online readable -> obeythetestinggoat.com
  • Nim: Nim in action
  • Go: Building Microservices in Go

Still on my pile:

  • The Mythical Man-Month
  • Product Leadership
  • Peopleware
  • Code Complete
  • Rapid Development
  • (and a lot of fictional books)
