A Curated List of Awesome Programming Books

  Curated lists are nice but what makes this list "awesome"? Some background or bullet points would be nice to convince a reader to pick any of them up.

    > Curated lists are nice but what makes this list "awesome"? I suspect a modern fad of using inappropriately effusive adjectives to hype mundane programming stuff.

      This is a rockstar comment.

    Unless the title been has changed since you posted your comment, it is a list of "awesome books", not an "awesome list" of books. But, I agree, to make the list useful, there really needs to be some explanation as to why the book is awesome.

    “Awesome” lists are apparently A Thing on GitHub (1). I’ve been seeing them roll through pretty regularly. 1. https://github.com/bayandin/awesome-awesomeness https://github.com/bayandin/awesome-awesomeness
