QUICK! My birthday was a few days ago, and one of my siblings wants to gift me something from Amazon (or whatever other online order site). Help me compile a list of Jow Forums-approved books that are worth having a physical copy of:
The only ones I have are: (1) C# 7.0 in a Nutshell, and (2) some Java book I forget the name of. It seems like the O'Reilly books are generally decent. Should I get a physical copy of Hacking: The Art of Exploitation?

So, day-to-day I work with C# / Java webshit, unfortunately it's a lot of menial javascript / html / css manipulations...But my interests lie in Security, Sysadmin stuff, and I still don't have a solid foundation in Networking
I'm no expert, I never finished a degree. But I have a couple years experience as a software dev (started there thanks to family nepotism). So I'm trying to make my own curriculum while I'm working on ez webdev stuff
Thanks frens
out of this, physical copy of is worth for

>The Linux Programming Interface
>Algorithms Etc. (1st release this year!!! but was opened PDF beta for years)
all catalog-style and very handy
Should i get the first or second version of K&R?
structures and interpretations of computer programs
Good luck.
I forgot to mention, I'm also interested in any science fiction books, if you guys have any /lit/ty clitty infographs. Ive been meaning to read more of the Dune, and Ender's Game series, as well as reading Neuromancer
anyway, I have enough books now to give my siblings a few options to choose from, thanks Jow Forums
Just bought concrete mathematics. If it's shit I will find you.
What a pretentious image
I like these
I like Clean Code and Clean Architecture.
My professor said it was a pretty good book, so take that as you will
jk of course. I did a bit of my own research but in the end you never know untill you read it yourself, so I will try it.
HTML for Dummies
a good book actually
With some things this is simply not true. For math for example it seems it's 90% theory, 10% practice. Or maybe there is no real distinction between theory and practice.

How much did you get it for? I just start my MS program and might get it just to refresh on some of the math.

I probably could have gotten it cheaper, but now that I ordered it I will most likely read it which is more important. But looks for a better deal I guess.
I think any of the Bjarne Stroustrup books about C++ are good. I think C++ or C are the only languages you actually need books for.
the little schemer is a great book, really
