i prefer more specificly targeted books. These are very general and thus suffer from the critique that it's inefficient or hard to learn (as it's perhaps to broad for 'their' use cases or learning path). if you want to learn in general more about computer programming ,go for it, its good. if you want to learn specific sub topics within computer programming, of which there are many, consider getting a more specialised book. as example. for me i like to go low level and code in C on some hobby operating system. most information in most programming books is rubbish for that. but specific books targeting intel/amd execution environments, architecture and assembly basics have helped me ALOT. - other books still help me out, and teach me things, but specific books help me directly implement things into my current project which is to me more useful.
