A question about programming from a total novice
|
Hi! Can anyone recommend me a list of books to read for studying programming? I'd like to have something comparable to a bsc of science reading list for all semesters but it's proving difficult. There's all sorts of stuff on the net, but it would be best if an experienced programmer or software engineer(sorry there are so many specialties i don't know them all, I didn't mean to put all of you under one big banner.) could recommend them to me in order from beginner to experienced level. I'd like to have the widest base before really specializing down the road. I know this is a lot to ask but i'd like to have a guideline to follow before i branch off somewhere and you kind advice would be much appreciated. sincerely, Asterius p.s.Thanks in advance. This is my first thread ever, so please, be gentle :p |

Try the books of Deitel. * C++ How To Program 5th Edition * Java How To Program Six Edition If you like some 21 Days Learning, try this books. * Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days * Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days * Teach Yourself Visual Basic in 21 Days * Teach Yourself .NET in 21 Days I've use those, especially Deitel's Programming books, since high school and college (the 21 Days Books is in EBook form) to start my study on programming. Just focus on C++ and Java because it is most useful programming language today. Then, after that, just buy books about PHP and SQL for your guide in Web Development. |
