Programming and CS books Anonymous Wed Sep 9 08:00:59 2020 No.16319914 [Reply] [Original]

Are there any computer science books that are actually worth reading?

Programmers make for some tremendously shitty book writers. I have tried reading dozens of programming books, mainly regarding algorithms, data structures and l*sp, and could not finish a single one. I couldn't even skim trhough it because of how much of a pain it is to read them.
You're better off learning by checking out basic tutorials, quickly starting your own project, googling anything you need to know (learning to ask the right question cannot be taught, this you learn on your own), after you get the hang of it just read official documentation/standards specification. Worst case scenario you have to ask for help on stack overflow/plebbit/forums/4channel slash g.

Dont waste your time on bullshit tectbooks by literally -who academic faggots.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 9 10:34:47 2020 No.16320726 >>16320531 I always assumed bootcamps were the equivalent of devry degrees.
