This is such a great article! I cannot agree more with learning the fundamentals and things that don't change. Those are the books you want to invest in, the ones you can read over and over after the years! Thank you, Milan.
What a great list. I have at least a dozen or so of those titles. Several have been must reads for all new team members such as Head First Design Patterns and Code Complete. Don’t know if he is still popular but always found Celko to be a goto resource for SQL.
you can build something by reading selectively. All the books I have read have a lot of entropy. There is very less useful information. Better to extract all that useful information and then build on basis of that knowledge.
i study C++ fundamentals and i agree with you About focus on learning fundamentals any building we build must have strong building foundation , so i'm close to finish fundamentals but i will practice more and more to get good knowledge base
Thank you for this article. Your discussion on the Lindy Effect and its application to technology fundamentals was a reminder of where developers should truly focus their learning.
I especially appreciate your emphasis on learning "things that don't change", which clearly underpins your own two decades of experience. Your insights are consistently inspiring and highly practical. Again thanks a lot.
Would definitely include "A Philosophy of Software Design, 2nd Edition" by John Ousterhout. His style and content is similar to yours: "Clear, concise, understandable. It simplifies complex things." There a very high rate of value returned on time invested by reading this book.
Amazing Article and Amazing list.
When you write articles and books about software fundamentals without clickbait titles nobody reads them.
When you write a concise article about how to solve a particular issue on the trendy framework, many readers come by.
Sad but true
Thank you! Exactly Maximiliano, I think the same.
That's so true!
