The User Experience Team of One by Leah Buley

This product was recommended by Serg Valencia from Charming Perfumes

Computer science is a broad and complex subject. Newcomers eager to launch their website or learn more about computing can be overwhelmed by the sheer number of existing topics. In my opinion, this book is one of the best introductions to designing applications and computer programs that are of value to people. Clear in its concepts; it motivates rather than confuses.

Code by Charles Petzold

This product was recommended by Devon Fata from Pixoul

For a good overview of programming as a whole, check out Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold. This one will introduce you to computational thinking and some of its historical sources and uses.

The Search by John Battelle

This product was recommended by Devon Fata from Pixoul

So much of our modern computing environment is driven by the power of search, which makes The Search by John Battelle essential reading.

The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven S Skiena

This product was recommended by Devon Fata from Pixoul

One of the technical texts I still reach for regularly is The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven S S. Skiena. It’s great for beginners as well as experienced coders.

Clean Code by Robert Cecil Martin

This product was recommended by Christen Costa from Gadget Review

Clean Code remains one of the best books on programming by far. Instead of going over a particular language, it lays out the fundamentals of programming as a language. It teaches you basic rules to follow and shows you how to structure and document your code the first time around and how to refactor your code when you find a better way to do something.

The Pragmatic Programmer by Andy Hunt

This product was recommended by Jeremy Yamaguchi from Lawn Love

This is an older book, releases in 1999. It’s as relevant today as it was back then, though. Even as new software is developed and new programming languages become popular, this book helps you get into the mindset of a programmer. It gives you a practical approach that’s broken down into concrete, measurable steps.
