I recently read the book The Software Craftsman: Professionalism, Pragmatism, Pride, by Sandro Mancuso and it highly resonated with me. Here’s an overview of the book with some of the highlights I made while reading it. I hope it piques your interest too.
As a software developer, I usually self-refer as a “Professional learner” and this book’s subtitle ("What every programmer needs to know about cognition") caught my eye right away.
Learning Go (a.k.a as Golang) was one of my personal goals for 2019 and I chose the book “Get Programming with Go”, by Nathan Youngman and Roger Peppe as my learning resource. Even though there are several other resources out there, I chose this book because they state on their website that “[it] introduces you to the powerful Go language without confusing jargon or high-level theory” and I like to have a physical book to reference to when learning a new code language. Go is also my first statically typed language, so I was looking for something that would walk me through from the very basics.
Note: I’m not being paid or receiving any kind of compensation for this review. TL;DR: This is a very good book. If you are a software developer I highly recommend it!
