Mosh hamedani books10/28/2023 Software developers are highly educated people exercising a very difficult profession, but still many of us treat themselves as production line workers without respect to our profession. It doesn't focus on how to write good code but gives you a totally another way to look at your profession. This book is very different from the previous one. The Software Craftsman: Professionalism, Pragmatism, Pride by Sandro Mancuso Probably I would start again with this book. It doesn't just encourage people to continue past the code and fix approach, but it gives a lot of techniques on how to write readable and maintainable code through a lot of examples. This book is one of the widely known must-reads of software development. One of my managers suggested reading this book when I was a junior and I took a good use of his advice. So I came with a list of 8 books that you should definitely read: Code Complete by Steve McConnell If you are a junior developer and you want to take the next step in your career, you don't only need to spend some more years in your daily job (most probably that won't help), but you rather have to push yourself, you have to exercise and you also have to learn. Recently I realised that people started to ask me about books, they ask me what I read, and if we talk about any subject, I think about what books I have read about it and what I would recommend. Nowadays I don't commute, but before going to bed or right after getting up or during lunch I am sure that anyone can find some time. Ryan Holiday says that if you want to read more, don't think about it as an activity. For me, reading books helps to calm down if I am stressed out. This only changed when I started to commute with my wife, but I sometimes read on the metro the way home next to her, just to calm down. I could read a lot those years while commuting alone, and I always had a book with me. When I moved into my own flat I had much more space for books, but I started to fill up that space too. Soon it was not enough and I needed a new shelf, my dad crafted one for me. I had to get rid of stuff in my room to be able to store the books. Soon I was in the highest tier of the fidelity program of the biggest Hungarian bookselling chain, so I bought even more. When I started to earn a stable revenue I started to buy books every month. But since about university second grade I have read a lot and I have bought a lot of books - I've been investing in myself. Later I had such a period during high school too, but between these times I barely read books - I did read a lot of car magazines nonetheless. I wouldn't say I always liked to, even though I had some peaks already in elementary school when in a short amount of time I read long novels that I found interesting. Of course, seniors should also read these books, but most probably they already read at least a few of them.
