Coding by the Book: How to Choose a Programming Book
Blog post from New Relic
In the first installment of the "Coding by the Book" series, John Paul Mueller highlights the enduring value of books for learning programming and improving development skills, while offering guidance on selecting the right ones. He advises examining the table of contents to ensure relevant topics are covered, evaluating the organization and depth of chapters, and checking for a comprehensive index. Mueller also stresses the importance of considering the author's expertise and warns against choosing books based solely on titles, covers, publisher reputation, or bestseller status, as these factors do not necessarily guarantee quality. Instead, he suggests using personal judgment and gathering information from reviews, while being cautious of potentially biased opinions.
