I find this interesting, as I recently completed a book (1). My co-author (much younger and smarter than me) mentioned while we were in the middle of writing it that he'd 'never read a computer science book'. I had to reflect on how much had changed in 15 years of software development. When I started I was using Dogpile to search for 'documents' on the 'net (which had an apostrophe then) while balancing a 'learn C++ in 21 days' book on my knee. So 'coding without books' (and coding well) is already more than possible. 1) https://www.manning.com/books/docker-in-practice https://www.manning.com/books/docker-in-practice, since you ask.
