mental game of sports = the inner game of tennis

I hear pic related described that way often. I'm only on Chapter 1 so I can't confirm yet.

For learning photography.

Am programmer, can confirm that this is just a /g/ meme though and actually isn't very relevant for programming or computers outside of computer science related mathematics

>on certain subjects
As opposed to uncertain subjects? The only uncertain subject is the topic of this thread. "List the best things in every field of human endeavor, go!" Fuck outta here.

Greyskull LP is a better beginner program

I have seen it praised heavily outside /g/ though.

Seems to be a pretty popular book if you want to understand programming as a discipline on a more fundamental level than duck taping libraries for your webapp?

>>16243866
Which books are a better resource for programming?

>>16243779
How to Design Programs deprecated it.

If you actually want to learn a programming language checkout "automate the boring stuff" for python.

Structure and Interpretation is technically a book on programming but it's studied more as an introductory comp sci textbook from what I've seen. Which is obviously important but if you just want to learn to write programs you can go with the aforementioned

What's up with the alchemical iconography on the cover? I've been into the syncretism of computer tech and occultism, but not sure where to start - kinda tech illiterate.

>>16243866
it's an excellent introductory textbook to programming and has nothing to do with "computer science related mathematics"
for things other than introductory programming, there are better books, which are not meant to be introductory programming textbooks

It's an ancient CS injoke about lisps being black magic.

Checked Satan, but Loomis is hardly comprehensive or in depth enough to be called the Bible of drawing, maybe cartooning specifically, but that's a stretch.

The Art of Computer Programming much better fits as the 'bible' of programming, but like the actual Bible it's not a beginner work and requires a lot of context.

they try to apply latin shit to english, debunked, deconstructed, cancelled

The new editions are shit. They've become amerifat tier adding all sorts of fad garbage. 6th edition and earlier were great though.

You guys read books for lifting? Back when I was really into powerlifting I just had some bros at the gym help me with basic form. Always seemed pretty intuitive and not something that required any study

Pic related is the 1975 edition, which is the best version.
