"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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Hey Travis , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
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 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 ?
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.

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.
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.

A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley. It helps you learn how to learn.
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.
Automate the Boring Stuff with Python helped me out to start off learning Python language. Would recommend 10/10
Nice! Only heard good things about it.
"Would recommend 10/10". You recommend someone buy 10 books?

Bought all the books and reading now.
Thank you! Helpful content.
Gracias por las recomendaciones Travis! I will start with the first one!
This is great. And such good topics. Thank you for sharing!
The Phoenix Project definitely made me think about management differently.
Thanks so much Mr.Travis
Thanks a lot Mr.Travis , I appropriated , It's very very useful for me .

Definitely reading the phoenix project
You’ll definitely come away from it a more knowledgeable person.
Thank you for this Travis I will make sure I buy those books, I just start learning python
Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship - by Robert C. Martin
THANKS
So, question, would the Pragmatic Programmer be a good audio book listen or not?
I've read the one thing.
Are the other books also non fiction or they're just textbooks?
Mine is headfirst Javascript and mysql

hey buddy, how far are you with the studies
more like intermediate level I write python mostly but I know my way arround sql and javascript too @@ditsepusegerane7942
Thanks, Travis, never fail to provide inspiration. 🎉
One question, is there a suggested order to read these four books?
Thanks! Not really, probably Phoenix Project last. The earlier the pragmatic programmer is read, the better, as the principles are really good.

@@TravisMedia LOL!!!!!
For me it's sicp
cool video)
Bigger as in Ted J biggerstaff
The only good book of those four is The Pragmattic Programmer. The rest are garbage, and one of your links didn't work for me.
Ansible?? Who???😂😂
