I’m an AVID reader. I believe (and also advocate) that one can save a lot more time, in the long run, by reading the basics first (docs/introductory books) and then building on to more advanced concepts, rather than diving straight into programming and later scrounging for answers on StackOverflow.
Thus, whenever I feel there’s something that would make me more effective in my work, I pick up a well-regarded book in that domain and try to understand its concepts from the ground up.
Below is a list of books, grouped by topic, that I have read in recent times, that I would recommend others to read (ordered alphabetically by topic).
- Cloud Computing
- DevOps
- Data Analysis
- Machine Learning
- Neuroscience and Exploratory AI
- Programming Languages
I do also read non-technical books at my leisure.
