My Top 100 Programming, Computer and Science Books: Part Two
- hueving 12y agoLists like these are completely overwhelming. 100 books related to programming can't even be consumed in a year. Feature request: distill this to 10. Edit: I get that I can pick and choose, but I'm more interested when someone can narrow down a set of books to a small list that they found fundamental to help their understanding to the field. When I generate a list of top 100 books, it's going to contain things that I found mildly entertaining.
- huehehue 12y agoI'm not sure that the point is to consume them all. I find a larger list helpful here because, if there were 10 options and I only found 30% worth reading, I'm down to 3 books. Here, I get to pick and choose books with more relevance to my path and still end up with enough material to keep me busy for a while.
- komaromy 12y agoI don't think the author is really intending for anyone to go through every single book in the list. I'd prefer to have 100 recommendations and pick the interesting-looking ones than 10 recommendations I may or may not have any use for.
