I have, very occasionally, been running a series called Pete's Book Of The Whatever (PBOTW) where I give a brief view on books that I have found interesting, informative, influential or challenging. Every time I post, I update this blog entry[^] with details and a link back to the original PBOTW.

The first and last one I read from cover to cover was Herb Schildt's Teach Yourself C. That's going back longer than I care to mention - pre-internet days. These days, I find it easier to learn from on-line articles than books. There are some great resources out there on sites like this and SQLServerCentral and I've rarely felt the need to hit the book shop for IT purposes in the last few years. The last decent coding book I bought was John Skeet's C# in Depth which is great but not for the faint-hearted.

This one: The Computer (Ladybird How It Works Series 654): Amazon.co.uk: David Carey, B.H. Robinson: Books[^] No, seriously. It's a very good overview of what they are (or at least were) and was responsible for my whole decision to enter the field of programming. You can't get more influential than that!

A very good series of books. I am currently reading [this one](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ladybird-Book-Hangover-Ladybirds-Grown-Ups/dp/0718183517/ref=pd\_cp\_14\_2?\_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GYEWFTCP3PGG6WBY9J2D).

The trouble with that book is that people buy it and don't read it ... so they ask for instructions in QA. :sigh:

I think everyone should read Code Complete[^] as a start.

Works for me! Check your firewall / antivirus / net nazis.

FTFY ;) Seriously though, it's pretty bad when SO copy-paste in production code is even a meme. That means it happens way too often :sigh:

I'm going to buck the trend, and recommend Donald Knuth's [The Art of Computer Programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Art\_of\_Computer\_Programming). IMO, learning a computer language is only the first (and easiest) step. The next step is learning algorithms, data structures etc. No programmer can be considered professional if he does not know something about these areas. [Data Structures and Algorithms](https://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Alfred-Aho/dp/0201000237) by Aho, Ullman, and Hopcroft is also a good book.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

All 3 of the John Robbins debugging books have been hugely helpful and influential for me. (Debugging Applications, Debugging Applications for Microsoft .Net and Microsoft Windows and Debugging Microsoft .Net 2 applications). All 3 though dated in areas, are amazingly useful and should be read start to finish. The amount of time you can save.... I'd also recommend Code Complete. I'd also recommend K & R for C fundamentals. Last but not least the Mark Russinovich Internals books about Windows. Incredibly useful.

No, I've probably read all of K&R at some point or other but not in a start-at-the-start-finish-at-the-end kind of way. The more I think about this topic, the more I realise that reading time is far, far more rewarding when devoted to the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster than it ever could be when looking at coding manuals.

Terry Pratchett - some good ideas in his books, the tourist in particular had a lot of good items that are actually real now.
Sin tack ear lol Pressing the any key may be continuate
I tried him eons ago and wasn't overly taken with him at the time. He's constantly getting recommended by people with similar tastes to myself, though, so I will give them another go at some point.
