And then never get to the third and fourth quarters because the practise you get from actually typing stuff is far more valuable? :)
- _xiaz 2y agoExactly. There usually is some stuff about the deeper, darker corners of a language in the type of book I pick. I usually pick the authoritative book / advanced book. Think "Programming PHP", "The joy of clojure", "The C Programming Language", etc. I don't necessarily need to know all about performance optimization, the async model or non-html templating. Reading a technical book cover to cover feels wasteful imo
