The Best Books for New Devs + Bonus Twitter Thread

Jacob Herrington (he/him) - Jan 13 '19 - - Dev Community

This thread just came across my Twitter feed and it's looking like it will turn into a goldmine of resources.

Assuming you've already got the skills to get a job and you can write some code, there are still a ton of things to learn about having a career in software development.

Professional developers benefit from learning things like design patterns, project management strategies, business tactics, and best practices.

If I could only recommend five books for a fledgling developer 👇

For people looking to build a strong technical foundation (in this order):

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software

Clean Code

Cracking the Coding Interview

and

Code Complete

For people who want to get better at getting along with other people:

How to Win Friends and Influence People

Share some recommendations with me so I can add them to my reading list. 📚
