The best books programmers should read
It is clear to everyone that the field of technology requires continuous learning. Although there are tools that enhance learning - online trainings, seminars, web articles, video lessons, what can be better than books for perfect learning?! Below you can find a list of books that every programmer should read.
1.Clean Code (Robert Cecil Martin, 2017) – most programmers are just trying to solve a problem. Because of this, they forget that they need to write clean and perfect code. "Clean Code" book will be your indispensable helper in writing clean and tidy code.
- Introduction to Algorithms (Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, Clifford Stein, 2010) – the title of the book explains itself, that is, Introduction to Algorithms. The algorithms discussed in Introduction to Algorithms are extensively explained. This book is a must-read for programmers of all skill levels, even those relatively new to programming.
- Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction (Steve McConnell, 2004) - this book is not enough to teach the syntax of programming languages. It helps you by thoroughly explaining all aspects of code structure. In addition, it will help you to think creatively, speed up the debugging process, update code (refactoring) and reduce errors.
- Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides, Grady Booch, 1994) – Design Pattern refers to a way of writing code, a kind of design. The designs outlined in the book make the code you write more efficient and easier to understand. Therefore, every programmer is advised to add this book to their library.
5.Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (Martin Fowler, 2019) – this book will help you understand the importance of refactoring. In addition, the latest edition of the book "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code" contains examples that demonstrate refactoring in JS code.
