Excellent recommendations! Another book that I see suggested a lot Code Complete. It's a bit long and dry, but filled with useful information.
For me, active engagement works best when reading technical books -- practice while you're reading, and things are more likely to stick. (Maybe that's obvious to most, but it took a while for me to figure out.)
I am a self-taught developer from Argentina currently living in Spain. I am passionate about improving my technical skills and helping others do the same.
Usually I would say you right, though some of this books are more theoretical so I did not do this. Others like TDD yes. Indeed code complete is also a great book, though on my experience is a little outdated and a lot of the same stuff is covered by clean code, which is a lot easier to read. That's why I did not include it ahah
You're probably right about Code Complete being outdated, it's been a while since I read it. One section stuck with me though -- how the aim is to remove complexity from any system. So true. As for the rest ... yeah, Clean Code just about covers it, and in a more enjoyable way.
