"you can really tell when a programming book is useful"


          

Used thinking in java to learn java and it threw in a lot of commonlicated shit at you all at once to the point that it was really frustrating to read it
But it had examples so I did learn from it

Currently reading the language of Sql by Larry rockoff and either sql is really easy or this is a really good book or both

I got one on android from the company than does the black and white animals on the cover. It goes into lots of concepts but doesn't have that many examples

I hate books like that

I'm working now and I got amazon prime so I'm just going to be buying a lot of shit

*poof*

there's a Programming Android book by O'Reilly and a Learning Android book by O'Reilly.

I bought the Programming Android one, probably should've bought the Learning Android one. I didn't know there was two!

*poof*

Only a third of the way through, it's a long ass book! It really is quite helpful so far, made me ashamed of some of the stuff I've written in the past. Any other recommendations of similar books?

You mean you're just trying to learn how to use it as an operating system right? As you would OSX?

and I believe you said in another thread that I should look into Linux to start. I really have no real experience using Linux. Most of my background is front-end stuff.

Technical interview questions - heard Cracking the Coding Interview is a good one.

PoEEE for MVC maybe.

Don't honestly have a suggestion for general web dev other than just trying to build shit.
MDN is a great general reference for CSS/HTML/JS

You'll have to google a couple things up there but it'll put you on the right path.

C# I don't really know well (by choice)

Getting a masters in applied statistics right now. Working with Minitab which is hot garbage but trying to learn the regression stuff on R. You doing it at all?

Well, almost All of it

There's some text shit I'll need to rely on something

Get the gist of the relevant topics from books, then research online to get more in-depth info/examples.
