I think you might be more interested in textbooks. In the programming world, the 'start a project' or build a software, it's more like a math theorem, not an entire branch of math. You find the solution to a problem, which basically in math you do by applying 1 or more theorems/solutions that have been found before. Unfortunately I don't know of any programming textbooks (for programming languages, similar to math books), but CS texts: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (as mifrai suggested); better to follow courses http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...
